I've Always Tried to Understand lyrics

I've always tried to understand

The reason why our love must end

Why did she let me wait on our weekly Friday date?

I've been waiting rather long

And I knew, that something had gone wrong

I'll never forget those happy days

Our love was growing in many ways

And when she sometimes said, my love for you

has made me bad

I just laughed and didn't see

That she meant she wasn't free like me

Now I've got your letter and I'm feeling very blue

Looking at the picture and the words you sent me too

This sweet little photograph just shows me everything

It's you with your husband and your kiddies, snapped in spring

Now all at once I realise

The tears that I saw in her eyes

They were not always shed for happiness I thought she had

They showed other feelings too

Of a woman who knew she was untrue

Of a woman who knew she was untrue

Of a woman who knew she was untrue
