I was still as her breath took the silence when she wrote it
Wrestling with the doubts in her mind, she's no prophet
I'm sorry I couldn't move with grace, should have held it
But I come up in a broken home of excuses

And I don't understand
You left me where we won't last
And we were so close to walking down the same path

We were always struggling in rooms that you're toiling
I'm sincere as I stand and wait you're controlling
Well fuck you I ain't giving up that easy, darling
'Cause the women in you is keeping me from drowning

And I don't understand
You left me where we won't last
And we were so close to walking down the same path
And I don't understand
You left me where we won't last
And we were so close to walking down the same path

I'm tearing down the pictures of you
But it's hard when they're memories I'm holding onto
And I'm finding ways to bridge the gap
Knowing love like this, ain't easy like that
We're not turning back, we're just changing tact
We're not loosing track now

And I don't understand
You left me where we won't last
And we were so close to walking down the same path
And I don't understand
You left me where we won't last
And we were so close to walking down the same path

Uuh, uuh
Uuh, uuh
Uuh, uuh
Uuh, uuh
And I don't understand
You left me where we won't last
And we were so close to walking down the same path
