They Don't Understand

There's a man who stands alone

Never had much, so he's cold to the bone

Every day is dark, every night darker

Month to month of loneliness, so the years just get harder

Out to chase his dreams, but it didn't all work out

All full of his worst fears and living with self-doubt

Now he's got nothing, family won't even take his call

But you don't understand 'couse you've never risked it all

And he cries

They don't understand all the pain I feel

They don't know all these scars I conceal

They don't see all these tears in my eyes

They don't hear my struggle, so they don't care why I cry

There's a woman who sits alone

Tragedy struck her family, now she's all alone

Every day she wonders, every day she remembers

Whole of the heartache on the third of September

Out to see the world with her husband and son

But a man didn't see light, oh it was a hit-and-run

So now she's got nothing, still in shock by it all

But you don't understand 'couse you've never lost it all

Yes you never had it all and lost it all

And she cries

They don't feel the pain I feel

They don't know about the scars I conceal

They don't see the tears in my eyes

They don't hear my struggle, so they don't care why I cry

No no, they just don't understand
