Help Me Understand

WHY THIS DIDN’T TURN OUT THE WAY I PLANNED,
WHY WAS I BANNED?
BANNED FROM THE GOOD LOVE I GAVE,
EVERYDAY TRYING MY HARDEST TO BEHAVE,
SINCE YOU LEFT I BEEN TRYING TO BE BRAVE,
WE LOST THE LOVE WE HAD,
IT ALL MAKES ME OH SO SAD,
IF ONLY I COULD RIGHT NOW,
I’D GET DOWN ON ONE KNEE,
BEG YOU TO TAKE ME BACK AND MARRY ME,
IT’S YOU I REALLY NEED AND LOVE DON’T YOU SEE,
PLEASE DON’T GIVE UP ON OUR LOVE AND FLEE,
HELP ME UNDERSTAND WHY WE THOUGHT WE SHOULD BE SET FREE,
HELP ME UNDERSTAND,
NONE OF THIS TURNED OUT THE WAY WE’D PLANNED
AS A LAST FAVOR JUST HELP ME UNDERSTAND.
