[responsivevoice_button voice="UK English Female";setDefaultRate(1.5) buttonposition=”after”] Understand I do not understand How you can live Living so bland When we strive Strive to play Strive to laugh Strive to excite Strive to life I know you And you know me I am not looking for a coup Live to be free Free to enjoy each other Free to come and go Free to smother Free to flow Smother you with love Smother you with kindness Smother you not shove Smother your blindness Blindness to my strengths Blindness to my virtues Blindness to my talents Blindness to my advantages Not here to take Or to divide Not here to break Or to pick sides To compliment To help To serve To encourage Put on the brakes But who knows What are the stakes And we froze Too serious Leave mom and dad How mysterious I must be bad Yes, violent Yes, arrogant Yes, a giant child Yes, a loud oaf All are true We all have faults Nothing new Not always a waltz How do you see it And how it is portrayed A story to knit A complicated braid My story is mine And I know my heart I have a shine For a girl who is smart She is splendid And kind Not easily offended Has her own mind She is a nurturer She is funny She is an adventurer She is sunny Hard to lose A real treasure Can cause the blues And all the pleasure It is so She has chosen Sent me the memo We are frozen Time sits still Between her and more A long climb up the hill To the next open door But remember this The ride down Will find bliss I will lose my frown
