Kristian Hoffman - Now I Understand lyrics

Now I understand how things get broken. Now I understand how things slip by. We could not invent a two part harmony - just better ways to lie, And reasons not to try To face the work at hand. Now I understand. Now I understand how dreams go hollow. Now I understand how hopes must fall. Though I wish it were, it's not a metaphor for anything at all. It's simply what we call The end of all we planned. Now I understand. At last I'm wise enough to say I don't believe, But that's a wisdom that I swear I never wanted to achieve. If Alice dare grow up, she's granted no reprieve And banned from Wonderland. Now I understand. Now I understand this heart is empty. Now I understand this well is dry. If I'd only known the pa**ionless response, I'd never have asked why. But now I can't deny I've got the answers and now I understand.
