Michael McDonald Lyrics
"Searchin' For Understanding"

By Darrel Brown and Michael McDonald

So long ago that you can hardly remember
So far away but not so out of mind
And you're still waiting to be forgiven
Whose problem is it after all this time

Down deep inside, if I were in your shoes
I know in my heart I'd never do that to you
It's time to decide, if I still wanna try
If love's gonna last there's one thing I gotta find

I'm searchin' for understanding
I'm lookin' for understanding

I'm sorry that my feelings are still tender
The things they make me do and make me say
I know in time that all things get better
But 'till then this may be the price you have to pay

Down deepinside, if I were in your shoes
I know in my heart I'd never do that to you
It's time to decide what we're gonna do
If love's gonna last there's something I need from you

So easily trust can be broken
Not so when a heart's got to mend
Your love was the one thing I believed in

Will it ever be the same
