They say that life is just a game
They say that life is but a dream
But when it doesn't go their way
They forget what that really means

Everything here has a price
And I'm longing to be free
From all the lows and all the highs
Why can't I simply be

I'll never understand
I'll never understand
I'll never understand
I'll never understand
I'll never understand
I'll never understand
Oh how I try to understand
But I'll never understand

When I thought I had it all
I forgot that life ain't fair
And that I'm just another part
Of a machine that doesn't care

Precious things will come to pass
Nothing matters in the end
I never thought this photograph
Would be so close and so distant

I'll never understand
I'll never understand
I'll never understand
I'll never understand
I'll never understand
I'll never understand
Oh how I try to understand
But I'll never understand
