Understanding - Judie Tzuke

Understanding all the reasons that you have, for keeping just a step away
You'd better start believin' that deceit, it's never gonna pay
Understanding that the light of every day holds a different feeling
You'd better start believin' that there'll be no more grievin' about it next time round
This time you seem so sure
Talkin' like I never heard before
Oh this time I want to believe in what you say
This time I want you to know that if I stay
I'm understanding all the reasons that you have, for keeping just this step away
But believe me when I tell you that you now has to be another way
Understanding that the light of every day holds a different feeling
You'd better start believin' that there'll be no more grievin' about it next time round
This time seems so sure
Talkin' like I never heard before
Oh this time I want to believe in what you say
This time I want you to know that if I stay
Will you listen when I tell you that I'm tired of keeping one more step away
Now the game that we're playing has been changed, and it's by my rules that we play
Not the child that follows blindly in the dark, watching and believing
I'm much stronger and I won't be torn apart, fooled by shallow pleading
You might say that we all need secrets, but I say that you're running away
You can say that I won't wait forever, but I'm giving you one more day
