Misunderstood ( response version)


 I am  Misunderstood

-I understand

 People take one look and think they know it all 

-They don't

 It isn't fair 

-It never is

 Pain, grief, anger it has it all 

-It doesn't have to

 People take one look and think they know it all 

-They don't

 I want to tell them, instead you hide

-I found you

 Pain, grief, anger it has it all 

- It doesn't have to  

 When people ask if you're okay I lie save it for another day 

-Tell me

 I want to tell them, instead I hide 

-I found you

 I build up walls instead of tear them down 

- Don't push me away

 When people ask if you're okay I lie save it for another day 

- Tell me

 I just want to be left alone

- Stay with me

 I build up walls instead of tear them down 

-Don't push me away 

 When I fall no one cares 

-I care

 I just want to be left alone 

-Stay with me

 I wish they would listen 

- I hear you

When you fall no one cares 

- I care

 It isn't fair 

- It never is

 I wish they would listen 

- I hear you

I am misunderstood

-I understand
