understand

15 minutes of break
that's all that she had
she wanted to talk to him
He said
I don't want to talk to you
Why'd you keep calling me back?

Couldn't help over hear the conversation
thought about how short life is
why cant we spend this precious time
in doing something good?

So I walk up
to that man
I tell him
to understand, her
You cant live your
life too fast
You'd always want to smile at it
whenever you look back.

You cant measure people you love
nor the ones that you don't
you said you spend so much on her
did she ever ask you any money for sleeping over?

You cant put anyone
in that kinda situation
and the world will then truly seem like
such a small place
all the contradictions that we make
to each other
take us further
and further
apart
when we should be
closing in

So walk up
to that man
tell him
understand
you cant live your
life like that
you'd always want to smile at it
whenever you look back.

So I walk up
to that man
I tell him
to understand, her
You cant live your
life too fast
You'd always want to smile at it
whenever you look back.
