[Verse 1]
I couldn't be more confused
But more than that I'm upset
We once stood side by side
We were young when we met
We'd always stand together
That's how we had it planned
Now where do we stand, oh
I can't stand the pain
I guess I don't understand

[Chorus 1]
I just don't understand this stand off
There's a lot I don't understand
We're apart and don't have to be
What went wrong? I don't know offhand
I only know this is killin' me

[Verse 2]
So I called your bluff
Said I'd see you around
You stood tough
You stood your ground (Stood your ground)
Now I'm standin' by
I'm trying to stand tall (Where do we stand, oh)
I'm standin' alone
Don't understand this at all
[Chorus 2]
I just don't understand this stand off
There's a lot I don't understand
We're apart, do we have to be?
What went wrong? I don't know offhand
I only know this is killin' me

[Bridge]
Now I'm standin' by
Watchin' myself die
Right beside myself like it isn't me, it's some other guy
And time's standin' still
And I'll stand here until
I understand or you come back
I really hope you will

[Outro]
I don't understand where (Don't understand where)
We went wrong
I don't understand how (Don't understand how)
It fell apart
Did I wait too long to write this song?
I always thought I was smart
