Ch: They don't understand you
None of them understand you
Tonight, as you stare at the ceiling again
With you lover turning away
Disappointment closing in like the walls
And you try, you try to talk about love
And they put their arms around you
But still you feel all alone - wonder why
Ch: They don't understand you
None of them understand you
And it doesn't have to be this way
I know you try to do the things they say
Just because you don't know what it is that you feel
Doesn't mean you can hide it away
Well you try to be less than you are but they know
Yes they know - and silence is a dangerous game
And words are dangerous too
And you've spoken the best that you can
Ch: They don't understand you
None of them understand you
And it doesn't have to be this way
I know you've tried to do everything that they say . . .
