I don’t understand why you do this to me
I cannot see what you perceive
That so threatens us together
What makes you want to leave

I don’t understand why you're so distant
As though an ocean is between us
Why you feel we cannot be together
On just one side… why it is thus

I don’t understand why you won’t let me
Be your friend… why we’re so lost
Why you let this fog surround us
Why you do not fight the bite of frost

We can fight the bite of distrust
We can, together, look through the cloud
Of tangled thoughts and dreams forgotten
We… neither of us must be proud

I don’t understand why we can’t talk
Why if I dare try to go near… you run
I don’t understand why we can no longer walk
Together through and down paths
As we once did

I don’t understand

I don’t understand

I don’t understand
