about

This one is about a friend of mine who recently went through a divorce. It’s about looking back at the situation with regret and wishing you had done things differently; wishing that you have communicated more clearly and been more empathetic. The songwriting style is very much a homage to Bob Dylan.

lyrics

You think you’d be better off without me in your life
Thought that we could make it as a husband and a wife
I’m just standing by for you to take me back again
I’m so sorry that I didn’t understand

You keep saying that I missed the point of what you said
Can we skip the part where you are stuck inside my head?
I won’t stick around if you don’t want me as your man
I’m so sorry that I didn’t understand

Now you have the time to spend to go and chase your dreams
When you get the thing you want it isn’t what it seems
Cut off on my own I’m left to roam across the land
I’m so sorry that I didn’t understand

I know that I’ve made mistakes and often made you cry
There were times I wish I hadn’t told you all those lies
I just want what’s best for you I’m doing what I can
I’m so sorry that I didn’t understand
I’m so sorry that I didn’t understand
