Here I am alone again tonight

talking to myself...again

lately I've been seeing less of you

what's a man to do

I understand that it's been crazy

I understand there's not much time

you've always got the best intentions

every single time

as the hours of the night roll by

just like your alibis, I stop and think

it's not like I don't really know you well...

sometimes I think I know you better (than you know yourself)

I understand that you've been busy

and you can't be by my side

you've got the perfect explanation

every single time, every single time

I understand...I understand

I understand...I understand

If absence makes the heart grow

fonder, why do I grow

...stronger in my resolve

every day I notice I'm becoming someone

...someone who understands

I understand I understand

I understand you really miss me

but you can't be by my side

you always got the best excuses

you're such a creative girl

you always seemed to keep me waiting

and now I really understand

that I'm the one that should be changing

I will never ever wait again, wait again, wait again

I understand...I understand...I understand

I used to think you really loved me

but now I know that you just don't care

I understand, that you just don't care. (fade out)
