Understanding - Judie Tzuke

Understanding all the reasons that you have, for keeping just a step away

You’d better start believin' that deceit, it’s never gonna pay

Understanding that the light of every day holds a different feeling

You’d better start believin' that there’ll be no more grievin' about it next

time round

This time you seem so sure

Talkin' like I never heard before

Oh 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 this step away

But believe me when I tell you that you now has to be another way

Understanding that the light of every day holds a different feeling

You’d better start believin' that there’ll be no more grievin' about it next

time round

This time seems so sure

Talkin' like I never heard before

Oh this time I want to believe in what you say

This time I want you to know that if I stay

Will you listen when I tell you that I’m tired of keeping one more step away

Now the game that we’re playing has been changed, and it’s by my rules that we

play

Not the child that follows blindly in the dark, watching and believing

I’m much stronger and I won’t be torn apart, fooled by shallow pleading

You might say that we all need secrets, but I say that you’re running away

You can say that I won’t wait forever, but I’m giving you one more day
