Never Understand
Lyrics
Seen it all the time
Observing familiar situations repeatedly
Tell em every day
Consistently communicating the same message
Ain't got a reason to bail
Lacking a reason to leave or escape
Ain't got another place to go
No alternative destination available
But you're running behind
Chasing or pursuing something
You tell them everyday
Repeating the same message daily
Running in place this time
Stuck or not making progress
Just take me far away
Expressing a desire to be taken far away
But can't you be someone
Requesting someone to embody a different persona
Won't you take the blame
Asking someone to accept responsibility
You better watch your mouth
Warning about the consequences of speech
Before it runs away you know
Cautioning against words escaping and causing harm
I see a change in your smile
Perceiving a shift in someone's happiness
I see the games you play
Recognizing manipulative behaviors
You won't get away this time
Asserting that escape won't be possible this time
Oh no you've got hell to pay
Anticipating consequences or punishment
Cause you make me
Attributing a hastened maturation to someone
Grow up way too fast
Acknowledging the impact of someone's actions on growth
And I know
Expressing awareness that life has limitations
That life could only
Contemplating the finite nature of existence
Last as long
Reflecting on life's duration in relation to a conversation
As I can hold this chat
Committing to leave when endurance is exhausted
But I'll go
Indicating a point of departure
When I can't stand it
Stating the threshold for tolerating a situation
