Embracing Farewell: Haley Hewitt's 'I Understand' Unveils Heartfelt Release
Lyrics
If you end up finding someone better
If you find someone better, I won't be hurt
Don't worry I won't be hurt
Reassuring that the speaker won't be hurt if the person finds someone else
If I tried to write this in a letter
Expressing difficulty in finding words if writing a letter about the situation
I don't know if I could find the words
Uncertain if the speaker can express feelings adequately in a letter
But it hurts to let you go
It hurts to let go of the person
It hurts to breathe
Emphasizing the emotional pain of the situation
But I needed you to know that I never wanted you to leave
Communicating that the speaker never wanted the person to leave
And I never want to hold you back from anyone or anything
Not wanting to hold the person back from others or anything
So if you need to leave
Accepting that the person may need to leave
I'll be okay
Assuring that the speaker will be okay if the person leaves
Know I couldn't have been your forever anyway
Acknowledging that the speaker couldn't have been forever for the person
But it was good to be the one to hold your hand
Reflecting on the positive experience of holding hands
And if you got to go now
Acceptance of the person's need to leave
I understand
Expressing understanding if the person decides to go
I hope that she makes you smile
Wishing the person happiness with someone else
I hope the way she talks makes you sit and want to stay a while
Hoping the new person brings joy and captivates the person
I hope she's your everyday and everything to you
Desiring that the new person becomes everything to the person
And maybe one day I'll feel that way for someone else too
Expressing hope to feel the same way for someone else in the future
But it hurts to let you go
Reiterating the pain of letting go
It hurts to breathe
Emphasizing the physical and emotional pain
But I needed you to know that I never wanted you to leave
Repeating the desire for the person to stay
And I never want to hold you back from anyone or anything
Not wanting to hinder the person's choices
So if you need to leave
Acceptance of the possibility that the person may need to leave
I'll be okay
Reassurance that the speaker will be okay
Know I couldn't have been your forever anyway
Acknowledging the limitation of not being forever for the person
But it was good to be the one to hold your hand
Reflecting on the positive experience of holding hands
And if you got to go now
Understanding and accepting the person's decision to leave
I understand
Reiterating understanding of the person's departure
Not saying it doesn't hurt my heart to be without you
Acknowledging that it hurts to be without the person
Crying my eyes out every night just thinking about you
Expressing intense emotions and longing for the person
And dreaming of the way it used to be
Remembering and dreaming about how things used to be
When all it is now is a memory
Recognizing that the past is now just a memory
Of when you loved me
Reflecting on the time when the person loved the speaker
But I'll be okay
Expressing resilience and confidence in being okay despite the pain
Even though it hurts to watch you walk away
Despite the pain, acknowledging the necessity of watching the person leave
It was good to be the one to hold your hand
Recalling the positive experience of holding hands
And if you got to go now
Understanding and accepting the person's decision to leave
If you got to go now
Repetition of acceptance if the person needs to go
If you got to go now
-I understand
Final reaffirmation of understanding the person's need to leave
