Can You Understand Me?
When I’m all alone
Making everything worse
Afraid to act
Can you understand me?

I wish I had someone
To hold close
When my confidence and self-esteem drops low
Can you understand me?

Wondering I am
Nervously waiting for some solution
What is left for me anyway?
Can you understand me?

Solutions I can never find
Leave me wishing for a smarter mind
I feel lifeless and lost
I don’t want to pay the cost
Can you understand me?

I try to understand myself
But then you came along
If now can I ask you?
Can you trust me?
