Marc C. Cole - Can You Understand Lyrics

Can you understand what's in me
Some say they see my ego
Takes me so high
And takes me so low

Can you understand what drives me
Making music is my mission
To write everyday is my ambition

Can you understand what I mean
It's not everyday I open my heart
Let you see what's pulling me apart

I'll let you see what I see
You can feel the pain, feel the shame
Hate your name, feel the loneliness
That still remains

Did you ever try to be someone
And life just lets you down
When you feel like your head is just
Keeping up and all you wanna do is
Drown

Did you ever get to sing for all the
Creeps who say they're gonna help
You out, it's like your life is planned
And no one understands to leave
You in no doubt

Up, up and away in my beautiful
Balloon, if it's true we all get high
Then I'll fly by and see you soon

You understand what I say
Maybe I should call you up
Everyday and every night when
It gets tough

I feel like I am in deep
No room to get it wrong, to justify
Get high or sing my song

Let you see what I see
You can feel the pain, feel the shame
Hate your name, feel the loneliness
That still remains

Did you ever try to be someone
And life just lets you down
When you feel like your head is just
Keeping up and all you wanna do is
Drown

Did you ever get to sing for all the
Creeps who say they're gonna help
You out, it's like your life is planned
And no one understands to leave
You in no doubt

Did you ever a friend who sees your
Pain and says they'll always have
Your back, but when your head is
Turned the friendships burned
And lies become the fact

Did you ever take the time to be
Yourself and not like what you see
Can you understand the song that's
In your hand it's all inside of me
