I Can Explain
Rachelle Ferrell Lyrics

I come to you with a heavy heart
I am approaching you with a lot of emotional pain and struggle.

Don't know quite where to start... 'cept that
I am uncertain about how to begin explaining myself, but I know that I need to try.

No one has ever loved me like you do, like you do
You have shown me a level of love and care that I have never experienced before in my life.

You treat me like you just don't care
Your behavior towards me often gives me the impression that you do not value me or our relationship.

But we both know darling, that's not fair!
We both recognize that your treatment of me is unjust and hurtful.

Now you wanted me all to yourself
You have expressed a desire for me to be exclusively committed to you.

But I just found out you've got somebody else!
I recently discovered that you are also involved with another person, which conflicts with your desire for exclusivity with me.

I can explain
I am willing and ready to articulate the reasons for my actions and behavior.

Why I caused you pain
I want to help you understand why I may have acted in ways that caused you emotional discomfort.

Let me tell why
Allow me the opportunity to explain my perspective and reasoning to you.

I made you cry
I recognize that my behavior may have led to your tears and I hope to provide clarity and resolution.

Cause you hurt me like no one else before you
I am not excusing my actions, but rather acknowledging that your own actions may have contributed to our relationship struggles.

But no one has ever loved me like you do
Despite any hardships we may face, I still recognize and appreciate the unique level of love you show me.
