Understand the Problem - Quiet Company

So I think by now I understand the problem

That this was not at all the life you wanted

If I’m not around, then how could I be any version of the man you need

You’re a single mom

And I’m always gone.

When I say I’m alone, I’m alone

(Screaming at the top of my lungs

Screaming at the top of my lungs)

I mean to say that, «We're alone, we’re all alone»

Let me hear you sing it in a whisper

Let me know which words will draw you closer

I won’t make a sound if you don’t wanna

I’m just feeling old so if I let you down,

or when I let you down, could I be forgiven

So I tell myself I’ll be home before the morning

When I can right the wrongs my absence has been causing

I’ll be strong and kind.

I will follow through.

I’ll do everything that she asked me to,

I will neutralize

I equalize

I’ll be screaming at the top of my lungs

screaming at the top of my lungs

I’m so tired of practicing on stages.

Every empty bar a bad decision that I’m making.

I wish I was someone else,

I wish that you loved someone else.
