I Understand
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I understand, and, darling, you are not to blame
If when we kiss, it's not the same, I understand
It's not your fault because your heart has changed its mind
You didn't mean to be unkind, I understand
Forgetting you will be far from easy
I've grown so used to your charms
I'll miss that old thrill, and no one can fill
The place here in my arms
But if you find our love was really meant to be
Then, darling, hurry home to me, and I'll understand
