I Hope You Understand Lyrics

How am I gonna cure being lonely

in a small town?

Where the whiskey and the beer gonna disappear

And help me drown.

How am I supposed to play it cool

Passing your house?

Damn, how much more should I allow?

You told me that you're leaving and now it got me thinkin

About who you're with.

I hope he makes you happy,

And you get your wish.

I know I will fall,

I will drink away the pain.

What else could I do,

If I'm taking all the blame?

What could I say?

I don't think my heart can still remain

In your hands,

I hope you understand.

All I do is drink and you can smell the moonshine on my breath.

And there's empty beer cans in the back of my

Silverado truck bed.

It's obvious to say that I've

Been misled.

Is whiskey the only way I can get you out of my head?

And I will fall.

And I will drink away the pain.

What else could I do,

If I'm taking all the blame?

What else could I say?

If I know my heart can't still remain

In your hands,

I hope you understand.

I woke up next to an empty bottle,

Which explains where I put all my sorrow

Last night.

I'm heading out to Colorado,

I'm leaving here tomorrow.

You won't find me and we can't fight.

And I have fallen.

I have drank away the pain.

What else could I have done,

When I was taking all the blame?

What else could I say?

I know my heart hasn't remained

In your hands,

I hope you understand.

I don't think my heart can stay in your hands

I hope you understand.
