This is an acoustic version of the song "Her". The one on the album "Pockets and The Narwhal" will be electric. I wasnt really happy with how this version sounded when included as part of the full album, so I decided to release it as a b-side.
lyrics
Lately its been getting hard to write this.
But I know that in the end it will be worth it.
I've tried so many time but I can't do this.
I cry as I try to remove it.
I understand why your gone.
I understand why you wont return my calls
I understand why we're through
Its because I am who I am around you
I remember when it was new
and you said that it was true
that we were falling in love.
For you, for you
were meant to be
meant to be the one.
And I know that I'm not OK
But you were meant to care
I understand why your gone.
I understand why you wont return my calls
I understand why we're through
Its because I am who I am around you
around you, around you.
We laughed and got each other
I've never felt so “a part” of the world.
And you, and you
said to me that we would be together
But I should have known
that you would break and run.
I understand why your gone.
I understand why you wont return my calls
I understand why we're through
Its because I am who I am around you
around you, around you.
And if I refuse to change for you
does that make me a better person
and if I choose to change for you
does that make me a better person
I don't know what is going on
any more in my mind
Its OK because I'll grow
Grow and learn from everything
its times like this I have to know
that it will get better.
And if I let it crawl inside
Then I will die.
I understand why your gone.
I understand why you wont return my calls
I understand why we're through
Its because I am who I am around you
around you, around you.
around you, around you.
I understand why your gone.
I understand why you wont return my calls
I understand why we're through
Its because I am who I am
Its because I am who I am
Its because I can't stand who I am.
