Still

I still don't understand a lot of things
but I am understanding you
no need for gold and diamond rings
silken strings or something blue

something tattered, something worn
something or nothing or anything's good
for the love of life stillborn
pulling courage from out of the wood

for things that went so wrong
or maybe right in others' eyes
don't even try to see, just go along
it's you that's brought me to demise

it's been you all the time
only you who I could ever feel
but living here this way consumes my mind
and makes me forget what is real

and I'm dealing with the pain
I realize you'll be around much longer
I just don't care to understand your brain
just be still while I'm getting stronger.
