I wanted to keep your eyes open, I wasn't there to hold you down
I wanted just to keep your eyes open
So you could see the waters of which you drown
It's not supposed to be like that for anyone
I won't tell you to understand
I did what I could, then we were faded
I hope you can understand that I never meant for us to be
Times have changed so much since then
But I know that we're still the same
Same pain, same fear, same skin with a new year
I hope you got out and you ran far
I know you wouldn't look back except to remember
The good times were gone, it was time to move on
We traded in June for December
I won't tell you to understand
I did what I could, then we were faded
They didn't understand, they did what they would
then we were faded
We need to understand, we did what we could
then we were faded
I hope you can understand that I never meant for us to be
I didn't mean to let go, but I was frightened by the undertow
I won't tell you to understand
I did what I could, then we were faded
They didn't understand, they did what they would
then we were faded
We need to understand that we did what we could
then we were faded
I hope you can understand that I never meant for us to be
