Tryin' to be misunderstood
But it doesn't do me any good
Love the way they smiled at me
Held their face for eternity
Now let them all fly offWhen it comes down
It all comes down
And you will not be found
When it's over, it's all over
Even if I make a soundI'll be misunderstood
By the beautiful and good in this city
None of it was planned
Take me by the hand
Just don't try and understandTryin' to be misunderstood
Just a product of my childhood
And still I find myself outside
You can't say, I haven't tried
Perhaps I tried too hardNo excuses, won't apologize
Or justify your lies
Come find me, tell them to me
Look me in the eyesI'll be misunderstood
By the beautiful and good in this city
None of this was planned
Take me by the hand
Just don't try and understandCan't forgive, sorry to say
You don't know, you're guilty anyway
Isn't it funny how we don't speak
The language of love?
