I Don't Want to Understand

I don’t want
To understand
In fear that I
Might comprehend
All those pretty things
You said to her today

I don’t want
To understand
In fear that I
Might comprehend
All those things you said
While I was away

I heard that
You told her
You loved her

You just came
Outright
And spoke your heart

I wish I
Had told you
I loved you

Before you came
And tore my soul
Apart

I don’t want
To understand
In fear that I
Might comprehend
All those pretty things
You said to her today

I don’t want
To understand
In fear that I
Might comprehend
All those things you said
While I was away

I knew that
You loved her
For a while

It was just
So apparent
To me

The way you
Would look at her
And smile

Was just the
Smallest hint
That would need be

I don’t want
To understand
In fear that I
Might comprehend
All those pretty things
You said to her today

I don’t want
To understand
In fear that I
Might comprehend
All those things you said
While I was away

I was sure
That my world
Was at all ends

Nothing you could
Do would ever
Work

If only I
Hadn’t been so
Blind

But all the time
I knew
You were a jerk

I don’t want
To understand
In fear that I
Might comprehend
All those pretty things
You said to her today

I don’t want
To understand
In fear that I
Might comprehend
All those things you said
While I was away

I will never be
Able to look at
You the same

I think you thought
That my life
Was just a game

Well you were
Wrong and
I am gone

So to say goodbye
I will tell you
What you have done

I don’t want
To understand
In fear that I
Might comprehend
All those pretty things
You said to her today

I don’t want
To understand
When you told
My best friend
That you loved her
With all your heart that day

Goodbye
“I loved you yesterday
I love you now
I will love you tomorrow
And forever on”
