Am I not understanding this now?
 This world I've held so close to my heart
 Is all against me now
 And it wears, and it breaks,
 And it brings me down, so low, down so low
 It wears me down, down to my bones
 Straight through my skin
 It wears me down, down to my bones
 Wearing away until I'm nothing

 Am I not understanding this now?
 This world I've held so close to my heart
 Is now more broken then ever
 And I tried compassion
 And to love every other
 Ive tried forgiveness
 And to hold on close to my brothers
 And look at where its left us
 Did I ever understand enough?

 Did all my words fall on deaf ears?
 Was what I wrote only shown to closed eyes?
 Have you ever felt like you did everything right
 And it still all went wrong

 Am I not understanding this now?
 This world I've held so close to my heart
 Is now more broken then ever
 And I tried compassion
 And to love every other
 Ive tried forgiveness
 And to hold on close to my brothers
 And look at where its left us
 Did I ever understand enough?

 Six years ago I married a bride
 I'm not sure she was meant to be mine
 Six years ago I married a bride
 I'm not sure she was meant to be mine

 So unsure of everything
 So unsure of everything
 I live in the marriage of life and love
 But was I mistaken all along?
 Have you ever felt like you did everything right
 But it still all went wrong?

 So here I am filled with doubt
 Understanding with live will be
 My only way out
 Don't give up on me
 Because it might take days
 Take comfort in me if you
 Feel the same
 Feel the same

 Don't give up on me
 Don't give up on me

 Take comfort in me
 Take comfort in me

 We need to fix ourselves
 And make right all our mistakes
 It's all we can do
 It's all we can do
 It's all I can do
 So I ask will you?
