when they don't understand

feels like they don't understand
the desperate state i'm in

if i can't find humor there
that's when my tears begin

everything just fell apart
now nothing can i fix

more than just a broken heart
my soul is in the mix

don't know how to make it right
just don't know what to do

wishing my soul could take flight
i wish i was with you

no idea how to fix all the things that went wrong
don't know how to make it better
so i write this song

wish that i could fix it all
wish i had some tricks to call
wish i had a magic power
something to call forth this hour

wish that i could fix it all
wish i had not had this fall
wishing ineffectual
what hope i have is much to small

no one seems to get what dire straights
i find myself

even as i contemplate
can't call upon my wealth

seems like they all want me just to leave and not come back
seems i really don't deserve to be cut any slack

broken hearted and with problems i can't seem to face
broken hearted and its clear that i am a disgrace

wishing isn't helpful to me here
not in the least

useless wishing now i fear
landed me in this place

wish i could just fix it all
wish i had some tricks to call
wish i had a super power
something to call forth this hour

wish that i could fix it all
wish i had not made this call
wishing ineffectual
strength i have is much to small

no one seems to care what dire straights
find myself in

all that i can really do
is hope and lift my chin

broken hearted and with problems i don't want to face
broken hearted now its clear i'm naught but a disgrace

wishing isn't going to get me out of this dark place
action is what i must take
so i can win the race
so i can leave this place
no longer a disgrace
