Please Don't Understand

I'm glad you don't understand what I mean, what I meant.

I don't want you to comprehend.

Don't try to understand me!

I don't want to be figured out!

Don't look deep in my eyes to find the hurt, the hurt you don't understand, cuz you can't. You can't understand.

You can't see me for who I am if you can't understand.

Understand?

Please understand.

I don't want you to see who I am.

Understand?

Don't understand me!

Don't see me for who I am!

You don't get it, is that it?

You can't comprehend it?

You can't understand me!

The me that sits in my head that waits to be read.

The me that you can't see.

I'm glad you don't understand what I mean, what I meant.

I don't want you to comprehend!

Don't try to understand me!

I don't want to be figured out.

I don't want you to understand the emptiness.

I don't want you to figure out the pain.

I don't want you to understand how broken I really am.

I don't want you to see, that no matter how hard you try, you'll never be able to complete me.

I don't want you to understand that as my heart shattered helplessly some of the pieces were stolen away.

It's useless to love me, to try to fix me, but I don't want you to understand that.

I don't want you to see me, because I need you

Understand?

If you knew, why would you stay.

Why would you stay with a totaled heart, that you can't fix.

Understand?

I know it's hopeless, and much more wrong.

I don't want you to see that you're,.... that you're a safe haven.

A sanctuary, that I can run to when the hurt starts seeping in.

I rest on your words of endless love, and sooth my self with your

need for me.

It's so extremely cruel of me, but I can't help myself.

Even though I know the comfort is only temporary, I need to feel your love for me.

I need to feel how much you want me.

Understand?

Even though I've lost some pieces, I still want you to try and complete me.

Try and replace the parts that were stolen away and give me something greater than what they used to be.

Understand?

I don't want you to see me for how I really am.

For who I am.

I don't want you to understand that I'm completely broken.

I'm glad you don't understand what I mean, what I meant.

I don't want you to comprehend.

Don't try to understand me!

I don't want to be figured out!

Don't look deep in my eyes to find the hurt, the hurt you don't understand, cuz you can't. You can't understand.

You can't see me for who I am if you can't understand.

Understand?

I don't want you to see who I am.

Please undersstand.

Don't try to understand..
