I could see you coming

From miles away

I didn't want it, no

No, not today

I could feel you coming

I felt so out of touch

Hanging on so tight for life

While the bones in your hand got crushed



How come I always know

When the worst is gonna come?

Sometimes it's so hard to know

When you can't change what's gonna come

How could they make you go?

How could they break your hands?

How come I always have to know

These things I can't stand?



I loved your fragile fingers

So thin, so smooth, so long

I lose my bank of memory

How did we ever get on?

I loved your fragile fingers

Oh, how they used to soothe me

I need to hear your play again

To smooth my hard feelings



How come they've made you go?

How come they broke your hands?

How come I always have to know?

How come I never understand?



I never understand

oh, understand
