Understand the Problem Songtext

von Quiet Company

So I think by now I understand the problem.
That this was not at all the life you wanted.
And if I'm not around then how could I be any version of the man you need?
You're a single mom, and I'm always gone.
But when I say I'm alone, I'm alone.
Screaming at the top of my lungs.
Screaming at the top of my lungs.
I need to say that we're alone, we're all alone.
Let me hear you sing it in a whisper.
Let me know which words will draw you closer.
I won't make a sound if you don't wanna.
I'm just feelin' old so if I let you down, when I let you down.
So I tell myself I'll be home before the morning.
When I can write the wrongs my absent time's been causing.
I'll be strong and kind, I will follow through.
I'll do everything that you ask me to.
I will neutralize.
I will equalize.
But when I say I'm alone, I'm alone.
Screaming at the top of my lungs.
Screaming at the top of my lungs.
I need to say that I don't want to die alone.
Let me hear you sing it in a whisper.
Let me know which words will draw you closer.
I won't make a sound if you don't wanna.
I'm just feelin' old so if I let you down, when I let you down.
I'm screaming at the top of my lungs, screaming at the top of my lungs.
Screaming at the top of my lungs.
Screaming at the top of my lungs.
Screaming at the top, screaming at the top.
Screaming at the top of my lungs.
Let me hear you sing it in a whisper.
Let me know which words will draw you closer.
I won't make a sound if you don't wanna.
I'm just feelin' old so if I let you down, or when I let you down.
Could I be forgiven?
Could I be forgiven?
Oh and I'm so tired of practicing on stages.
Every empty bar a bad decision that I'm making.
I wish that I was someone else.
I wish that you loved someone else.
