[Verse 1]
I saw you at a party
You were sneaking behind the bar
Ever since I've known you then
You've been covering up those scars

[Chorus]
I tried to understand
I tried to understand
I tried to understand
I tried to understand

[Verse 2]
Always making fun of the ones
Hell-bent on buying their fate
Humiliate their fantasies
'Cause it's an easier love to hate
I know that you're softer
Than you're always making it seem
But you only like pleasure and pain
And nothing else in between

[Chorus]
I tried to understand
I tried to understand
I tried to understand
I tried to understand

I tried to understand
I tried to understand
I tried to understand
I tried to understand

[Verse 3]
So you burned it down with your cold heart out
And your brain sitting down on ice
And you're dancing around in an empty club
With tears falling out of your eyes
And you're spinning out like a penny on the ground
And around and around and you go
And around and around and you go
And around and around and you go
[Bridge]
So you burn it down with your cold heart out
And you're dancing around in an empty club
So you burn it down
You burn it down
You burn it down
You burn it down

[Chorus]
I tried to understand
I tried to understand
I tried to understand
I tried to understand
I tried to understand
I tried to understand
I tried to understand(Tried to understand)
I tried to understand(Tried to understand)
I tried to understand(Tried to understand)
I tried to understand(Tried to understand)

[Outro]
(Tried to understand)
(Tried to understand)
(Tried to understand)
(Tried to understand)
(Tried to understand)
(Tried to understand)
(Tried to understand)
(Tried to understand)
(Tried to understand)
(Tried to understand)
