Searchin' For Understanding

So long ago that you can hardly remember

So far away but not so out of mind

You say you're waiting to be forgiven

Whose problem is it after all this time?

Down deep inside, if I were in your shoes

I know in my heart, I'd never do that to you

It's time to decide if I still wanna try

If love's gonna last, there's one thing I got to find

I'm searchin' for understanding

I'm searchin' for understanding

I'm sorry that my feelings is still so tender

The things they make me do and make me say

I know in time all things get better

But 'til then this may be the price you have to pay

Down deep inside, if I were in your shoes

I know in my heart, I'd never do that to you

It's time to decide what we're gonna do

If love's gonna last, there's something I need from you, baby

I'm searchin' for understanding

I'm searchin' for understanding

I'm searchin' for understanding

So easily trust can be broken

Not so when a heart's got to mend

Your love was the one thing I believed in

Darling, can it ever be the same again?

I'm looking, I'm looking, I'm searchin'

I'm waiting, I'm waiting

I'm looking, I'm searching for understanding

I'm hoping, I'm waiting

I'm looking, I'm searching for understanding

I'm waiting, I'm waiting

I'm looking, I'm searchin' for understanding

I'm hoping, I'm waiting

I'm looking, I'm searchin' for understanding

Waiting, I'm waiting
