I Am Understood?

"I Am Understood?" by Relient K
From the album Two Lefts Don't Make A Right...But Three Do

Sometimes it's embarrassing to talk to you
To hold a conversation with
The only one who sees right through this
Version of myself I try to hide behind
I'll bury my face because my disgrace
Will leave me terrified

And sometimes I'm so thankful for your loyalty
Your love regardless of the mistakes I make
Will spoil me
My confidence is, in a sense,
A gift you've given me
And I'm satisfied to realize
You're all I'll ever need

You looked into my life and never stopped
And you're thinking all my thoughts are so simple
But so beautiful
And you recite my words right back to me
Before I even speak
You let me know
I am understood

And sometimes I spend my time
Just trying to escape
I work so hard, so desperately
In an attempt to create space
'Cause I want distance
From the utmost important thing I know
I see your love, and turn my back
And beg for you to go

You looked into my life and never stopped
And you're thinking all my thoughts are so simple
But so beautiful
And you recite my words right back to me
Before I even speak
You let me know
I am understood

You're the only one who understands... completely
You're the only one who knows me yet still loves completely

But sometimes that place I'm at
Is at a loss for words
If I think of something worthy
I know that it's already yours
And through the times I've faded
And you've aligned me again
You just patiently waited
To bring me back and then...

You looked into my life and never stopped
And you're thinking all my thoughts are so simple
But so beautiful
And you recite my words right back to me
Before I even speak
You let me know
I am understood

The noise has broken my defense, let me embrace salvation
Your voice has broken my defense, let me embrace salvation (4x)
Let me embrace, let me embrace salvation
