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
