The understanding

lyrics

I know you don't like it,when I'm not picking up
& I play truant
You see phone numbers,that you don't know,When you go through it
I start closing chats,before you go through it.
Dumb situations that I throw you in
I just tell these white lies,so fluent
I should be a bigger man & don't do it
Yet I find myself doing
what I said I wouldn't do
Even though I've promised you that I won't do it
I'm just adding to the stereotypes & cliches
I'm finding it harder to look in your eyes,with each day.
Chipping away at the small bit of trust that remains
& it's a bleak maze
Because sometimes,I really just was
Sitting in my house all day
But it's sad when the he say & she say holds more weight
And I know fuck up
I gave you a sorry for breakfast
& a sorry for lunch
I'm sorry for being sorry
I know I'm a cunt
But I know I can learn to be the man that you want & need
I know that it's hard to believe
Because I've got the same promises on repeat
Then she said,give me a reason to stay around
I replied with my phone faced down

Hate me slow & love me fast
Embrace my future
Accept my past
Trust my flaws & kiss my scars
Hate me slow & love me fast
Embrace my future
Accept my past
Trust my flaws & kiss my scars

Just give me one more last chance
The fact that I find it so easy
Just makes it so hard
I'm not perfect,none of us here are
I know you're tired of the let downs
Fuckeries & pars
But you know that I love you right?
I know I'm loving you wrong
But I'll love you right
I can't even imagine what it must be like
Putting up with my shit
For the hundredth time
I don't know how you deal with
All lust & lies
Wondering eyes
Scroll through 'lol's & like
And I know you want to listen to your mums advice
"Fuck that guy he'll never be a son of mine,until he mans up & treats you right"
Alright,alright,alright I know she's right
But I'm trying,I'm trying,I'm trying
You know I'm trying
But it's lies on lies on lies,I know you're tired...alie
But I don't want to make you bitter
So let's make this better
If you go then you go
But if you stick around,asking as we're together just...
Hate me slow & love me fast
Embrace my future
Accept my past
Trust my flaws & kiss my scars
Hate me slow & love me fast
Embrace my future
Accept my past
Trust my flaws & kiss my scars
