[Verse 1] 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 off [Pre-Chorus 1] When 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 sound [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] Tryin' 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 hard [Pre-Chorus 2] No excuses, won't apologise Or justify your lies Come find me, tell them to me Look me in the eyes [Chorus] 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 [Outro] 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?
