A Plea For Understanding Lyrics - Pallbearer

In a little time so much has changed 

Here I am again in that familiar place 

Dreams may try to grow in the dark 

But no fire can burn without the setting of a spark 

[chorus] 

I just want to give to you 

All that you have given me 

My searching heart 

Cries for this 

This thing I can't grasp 

A love somewhere within 

Given to roam 

In a vast and empty space 

A tiny glimpse of truth 

Wrung from a simple twist of fate 

Help me to find a new way to tread 

So I might not be alone on the path that lies ahead 

[chorus] 

Try to forget the past 

But nothing ever changes 

Try to understand 

But nothing ever changes 

Try to lose myself 

But nothing ever changes 

Try to love myself 

But nothing ever changes 

Behind the eyes lies a truth 

So deeply concealed 

Somewhere inside is a place 

Where the weary rest and heal 

Anger, fear, and regret keep the darkness at hand 

But these feelings are real 

All I ask, won't you please understand
