I Want To Understand

Story Behind The Song

I was inspired to write this song after moving forward from a relationship that I had been sad about ending. This song is about accepting the pain of lost love and wanting to try again and hope someone else is courageous enough to try again, too.

Song Description

Lyrics

I know how it feels to be of the brokenhearted
I know what it's like to live in the land of shattered dreams
There was a hole in my life when he and I had parted
I never thought I'd find someone I could trust and believe
Well, it takes some time to recover from the heartache
It takes a few good memories to recapture misplaced dreams
There needs to be healing to find the strength to be whole again
There's always some risk in finding someone who won't deceive
It's hard for love to feel right, when you've been done so wrong
You know it's truly devastating, without the one you love
But don't think you can't find another you've been dreamin' of
I'd love to be that person, please don't say it's out of my hands
Just try me
I want to understand
Tell me what she did that made you hurt so badly
Let me know what I can do to ease your pain
I don't want to give up, because you're worth the patience
We're so close to finding what gives love it's name
Show me what's behind your eyes
I want to know the way into your heart
It's truly devastating, without the one you love
But don't think you can't find another you've been dreamin' of
I'd love to be that person, please don't say it's out of my hands
Just try me
I want to understand
And it's truly devastating, without the one you love
But don't think you can't find another you've been dreamin' of
I'd love to be that person, please don't say it's out of my hands
Just try me, try me, try me
I want to understand
Try me, oh, I want to understand
