"Understood"

An ode to those who faded away:

I never did say that you needed to know
How to make things clear when i said no more
'Cause this is goodbye and I thank you for all
That you taught me to see

But you never had to be the same as me
You have to live the life that you seek
Don't worry 'bout me, I will make this through
We'll see each other when my life is through

*This is the end of my story with you
I hope that you've learned something new
I'm sorry for the pain that I've caused you
But I know, that you've always understood...

You always did say that I needed to grow
And how to make things clear when the darkness shows
'Cause this is my life and you want me to see
The light of which you speak

But you never have to be the same as me
You have to live the life of your dreams
Don't worry 'bout me, I will make this through
We'll see each other when my time is due

*This is the end of my story with you
I hope that you've learned something new
I'm sorry for the pain that I've caused you
But I know, that you've always understood...

I've always understood.
