He Won't Understand

Sometimes we get too attached we get too close
Time to take a step back from the show
But it's hard I know

Jealousy, you're a bird, fancy free
So fly away
Don't break his heart any more
Unaware, not a care, in the world
That's how it seems

Look, the palm of your hand, pieces of a man
Scared to stand tall
Afraid he'll lose it all
No pride before a fall, no pride before a fall

You've done something wrong, don't string him along
Just cos you can
A boy not a man
He won't understand, he won't understand

If it's a struggle, it shouldn't be
If it's a battle, it shouldn't be
When there's no trust there must be another way

If you go, first of all
Think about his state of mind
You'll be fine
If you stay, he will try and make you cry
But it's the only way

Look, the palm of your hand, pieces of a man
Scared to stand tall
Afraid he'll lose it all
No pride before a fall, no pride before a fall

You've done something wrong, don't string him along
Just cos you can
A boy not a man
He won't understand, he won't understand

Don't break that man, look in the palm of your hand
Even if you let him down gently
Innocently
It won't make a difference
You knew it all along

Why'd you have to say those 3 words
It only makes it worse
Taken for a ride
Makes a man feel like a child

He won't get it
He won't understand
