I Can Tell lyrics

I tried for understanding this
But I never faced it
Instead, fight what I've seen
I tried to have an open mind
That kept becoming clouded by reality
In spite of what I might be told
I can tell when something's wrong
I keep on praying what over and over
Can only last so long

We never lost the closeness
It became a matter of
A life of verity
Perhaps what we had shared most
Was a sense of emptiness
That seemed to fill our needs
In spite of what I might be told
I can tell when something's wrong
I keep on praying what over and over
Can only last so long

Move along move along and lose a friend
Just as well, just as well we've reached the end
Ah, things have changed

I think I'm done with trying
I don't understand
Or maybe I understand too well
But then that emptiness
I thought was gone comes back sometimes
And drops me in it's well
In spite of what I might be told
I can tell when something's wrong
I keep on praying what over and over
Can only last so long
