She Won't Understand

Am I boring you out?
Am I disturbing your pace?
Did I break anything on you
That would drip down your sail?
Did I trouble your life?
Did I make you aware?
You've said you know it all
And I do hope you are right

I'll write all the things you are today
And it won't be easy cause it will bother your way

I'm sorry for caring for you
I'm sorry
And it hurts falling for you

She won't understand
She puts her mind on what she knows
She won't know anything
She won't know everything

You are breaking me out
You don't have a chance too see
Your words tear a thousand pieces
And it falls all over me
Can we make up for it?
You wont make up for me
You go on your way
And listen to things that you want to here

I'll write all the things you are today
But it won't be easy cause it will bother your way

She won't understand
She puts her mind on what she knows
She won't know anything
She won't know everything she knows

I'm sorry for caring for you
I'm sorry
And it hurts, I'm sorry
