Let me just say, taking a self-portrait of your feet is a lot harder than it looks. This is how I captured the single artwork for "Understand". Hope you enjoy singing along :)

LYRICS
You hold your head up high
And you should know I tried
To do away with all my hurt
But when I look it in the mirror
I can't see myself any clearer
Ever since the day you walked away
Darling, we don't have to agree
But we could settle on some things
Like you don't have to be mean
To get your point across to me
We don't have to know
You should know by now that I don't
But I'll try to do the best I can
What if we tried to understand
You got that 9 to 5
And I cannot deny
You're the hardest working soul I know
But when I look you in the eye
I'm reading words that I can't define
Always hoping you can read in mine
That we don't have to agree
But we could settle on some things
Like we don't have to be mean
To get our point across actually
We don't have to know
You should know by now that I don't
But I'll try to do the best I can
What if we try to understand
Take my hand
And I'll see it through both your eyes
Unbelieve all the lies
Won't pretend but actually try
To hear you when you're talking
Instead of walking away
I'll stand here in place
We don't have to agree
But we don't have to be mean
We don't have to know
Don't you know by now that I don't
But I'll try to do the best I can
Oh I only do the best I can
What if we tried to understand
