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
