UNDERSTANDING

Nobody really understands
No matter how they say they do
Nobody could possibly understand
All the intricacies of you.
They'll never know your every motivation,
They'll never see your every slight depression,
They'll never look deeper than they want,
They'll never hear anything that isn't said,
No matter how they say they do
Nobody could possibly understand
All the intricacies of you.
If they say they understand
They're lying
Because lying comes naturally
When you think you own empathy.
All the sympathetic
stares in the world
Won't make me believe them,
They don't understand because they're not you
No matter how they say they do
Nobody could possibly understand
All the intricacies of you
...Nobody ever really understands.
