Help me understand

Alone in a cave, no soul left to save, darkness feels like a grave

Reading tea leaves, they deceive, only message I seem to get is behave

I feel like a stranger in my own land, can’t even see my hand, babe nothing’s as we planned

A little bit longer, a little more time, got to be stronger, quittin’s a crime, help me understand

Phone don’t ever ring, out of blues to sing, I feel like I’ve already covered everything

Covered like a big old bear in a beehive, looking for his honey and he don’t feel a sting

The dreams were oh so grand, see the world hand in hand, get a hall and hire a band

Nights get longer, time drags, weak knees not stronger, our rainbow sags, help me understand

Help me understand how I can drive when I’m blind

You turned out the lights did you think I wouldn’t mind

Help me understand how to hear your solution

I can’t hear you when you speak is it just an illusion

Help me understand, seems I can’t speak in a tone you hear

Why are you getting farther away each time I need you near

Help me understand
