Understanding all the reasons that you have 
For keeping just a step away
You'd better start believing that deceit
It's never gonna pay
Understanding that the light of everyday 
Hold a different feeling
You'd better start believing 
That there'll be no more grieving about it next time 
round

This time, you seem so sure
You're talking like I've never heard before
This time 
I want to believe in what you say
This time 
I want you to know that if I stay 
I'm understanding all the reasons that you have 
For keeping just a step away
But believe me when I tell you that from now
There has to be another way
Understanding that the light of everyday
Hold a different feeling
You'd better start believing that there'll be no 
More grieving about it next time round
This time, so sure
You're talking like you never did before
This time 
I want to believe in what you say
This time 
I want you to know that if I stay 

Do you listen when I tell you that I'm tired 
Of keeping one more step away
Now the game that we've been playing has 
Been changed and it's by my rules that we play
Not the child that followed blindly in the dark
Watching and believing
I'm much stronger now and I won't be torn apart 
Or fooled by shallow pleading 

This time 

You might say that we all need secrets
But I say that you're running away
You could say that I won't wait forever
But I'm giving you one more day

This Time

Talking like you ever did before
This time
I want to believe in what you say
This time
I want you to know that if I stay

I'm Understanding
