Trying to be misunderstood,
But it doesn’t do me any good, 
Love the way they smiled at me
Held that face for eternity
Now let them all fly off, 
When [bad word] down, 
It [bad word] down, 
And you will not be found,
When it’s over, 
It’s all over, 
Even if I make a sound

I’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 understand 

Trying to be misunderstood,
Just a product of my childhood,
Still I find myself outside,
You can’t say I haven’t tried,
Perhaps I tried too hard,
No excuses, won’t apologise,
Or justify your lies, [bad word] find me, 
Tell them to me, 
Look me in the eyes 

I’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 understand 

Can’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?
