lyrics

YOU COULD NEVER UNDERSTAND written by MEI LIN HEIRENDT

When you walked in through those jail room doors

I was shackled all in chains

I had treated life so poorly

Like it was all a game



I could see how much I’d hurt you

When I looked into your broken eyes

When they told you how much this time

You said your last goodbye



You used to rock me in your lap

And hold me oh so tight

You’d tell me all your childhood tales

And tuck me in at night



You’d race with me

Through grassy fields

And always let us tie



And you’d hold my hand

While I said my prayers

‘Til the moon lit up the sky



I just want to see your smiling face

But I know it will never be the same

I’ve tried to do the best that I can

But I know you could never understand

As I sit here in this emptiness

I can picture oh so well

Countless empty needles

Hiding on that shelf



I never meant to go this far

Trust me I’ve been through hell

You looked at me in the eye

Said you thought that you could help

You never thought you’d lose me

But there’s where you went wrong

I tried to resist and struggled

I simply wasn’t strong



The more I used the more I more hurt

And I just wanted to die

Now when I look into the mirror

I can’t help but cry



I just want to see your smiling face

But I know it will never be the same

I’ve tried to do the best that I can

But I know you could never understand



But I know you could never understand..
