Understood Lyrics by Leith Ross

Motherwell

2020

[Verse 1]
I'll visit my family
To give muscle memory a break
'Cause I've been learning since I was a baby
To take on their pain
I'll visit my family
In living rooms that don't get cold
'Cause blankets and body heat can't be compared
When it only took you a week to grow old

[Chorus]
Love can be understood
I'm sick of attachments I recently learned
I can't relax, and I'm scared of myself
I'm scared for my health
Tell me you'll take me back home

[Verse 2]
Old friends are precious
But once, all your old friends were new
It takes years of tense shoulders
When growing a person into something that you're used to
I'm sick of the feeling
That nothing will ever stand still
I wish I could stop

[Chorus]
Love can be understood
I'm sick of attachments I recently learned
I can't relax, and I'm scared of myself
I'm scared for my health
Tell me you'll take me back home

[Bridge]
When I get sad, I go back to my grandmother's house
And picture my mother putting on her wedding dress
Posing beside the same couch
That I am lying on
It helps to remember I took generations to make

[Chorus]
Love can be understood
I'm sick of attachments I recently learned
I can't relax, and I'm scared of myself
I'm scared for my health
Tell me you'll take me back home
Love can be understood
I'm sick of attachments I recently learned
I can't relax, and I'm scared of myself
I'm scared for my health
Tell me you'll take me back home
