Running With Scissors

Understand Me

I don't write it
like they do in love songs
Yeah , I
never sugarcoat it
Never make it too sweet
I like to keep it real

I don't write it
like they do in fairytales
The prince is a jerk
The princess is
standing near a cliff
It's never daytime here
It's a midnight blue
where ghosts drift

I don't write it
like they do in newspapers
I won't provide any cover letter

I write it
for those who will understand
every word , every line
So they'll understand me.
