Lyrics

I don't understand

I am confused or perplexed.

Why you won't even look at me

Wondering why you avoid making eye contact with me.

I sent you flowers

I made a gesture by sending you flowers.

But you didn't even get to see them

You didn't have the chance to see the flowers I sent.

All these people drive me crazy here

Feeling overwhelmed and irritated by the people around.

And so do you

You are also a source of frustration for me.

You don't respond to me at all

You are not responding to my attempts to communicate.

Do you hear a word I'm saying

Questioning if you are truly listening to what I'm saying.

What I'm trying to say is

Trying to express something important.

I don't understand

Reiterating the confusion or lack of understanding.

Why you won't sleep with me

Expressing a desire for intimacy or closeness.

I don't understand

Repeating the confusion about the lack of intimacy.

Why you won't sleep with me

Emphasizing the frustration about the lack of intimacy.

There's things we need to talk about

Indicating a need for a serious conversation.

Like maybe I was just caught up in my own life

Reflecting on the possibility of being self-absorbed.

Maybe I was too stupid and too strong to realize that things got wrong

Acknowledging past mistakes and lack of awareness.

But I'm asking you

Making a plea for understanding or communication.

Cause it's the last time

Highlighting the urgency or finality of the situation.

They'll be no doubt left on the ride home

Ensuring that there will be no uncertainty on the way back.

And sit in the car won't make me feel clean

Expressing discomfort and the need for resolution.

So no one's going to shake my hand and tell me you're not dead

Fearing negative judgment from others about the relationship.

I don't understand

Reiterating the confusion regarding intimacy.

Why you won't sleep with me

Repeating the desire for closeness or intimacy.

Sleep tight

Wishing for peaceful sleep or rest.

And now the hair of my lover is not so black

Noting a change in the physical appearance of a loved one.

The presence of your memory is merely an addiction

Describing the lingering impact of memories.

Look at how the outside world lives

Observing the contrast between personal and external perspectives.

And feel so blind

Feeling emotionally detached or unaware of surroundings.

And these pieces of our reality that you left behind

Referring to remnants of shared experiences.

The black and blue chair, the wedding ring, the black and white tv

Listing items that no longer hold significance.

They don't mean anything to me

Expressing a lack of attachment to specific possessions.

They really don't mean anything to me

Reiterating the insignificance of mentioned items.

Anything at all

Emphasizing the lack of meaning or value in these objects.
