MISUNDERSTOOD

R. E. Todaro


You said you trust me

And need nothing from me

But lately something’s strange

And it’s starting with a change in you

And when I confront you

You say it's not true

Yeah you do


So I choose my words

But they go unheard

And then you condescend

And say I’m not a friend to you

And though I try to explain

I know nothing will change


I meant what I said to you

There’s more to the story

Than you're leading on

I wish I knew

Your hiding will leave

You all alone


A misunderstanding

Of what you’ve been handed

Pretend you’re unaware and

Declare I've been unfair to you

So I must try not to blink

Or give you a chance to think


I meant what I said to you

There’s more to the story

Than you're leading on

I wish I knew

Your lying will leave

You all alone


Am I confusing?

Is this amusing?

I say it with a grin

‘Cause I know I cannot win with you

Although I’ve made no mistake

I must give what you take


I meant what I said to you

There’s more to the story

Than you're leading on

I wish I knew

Your hiding will leave

You all alone
