Misunderstood

I go through my life

Doing what I feel I should;

Not caring about the fact

That I am misunderstood.

I've tried so hard

To justify what I do;

And people still think

I can't let go of you.

If I tried to explain it,

I don't think I could...

Maybe I'm better off

Just being misunderstood.

I love you more than ever...

That I won't deny;

As for living in the past...

That would be a lie.

Do I have regrets?

I don't see why I should.

Maybe it's just better

I remain misunderstood.

It would take a lifetime

To explain the things I've done;

So I'll just cut my losses

And remember what I've won.

I've learned from my life

More than I thought I would;

And that's why it doesn't matter

If I am still misunderstood.

I won't dwell on the past

Or spend my life on regret.

I am going to live my life...

For it's the only one I get.

I know my life will happen

Just the way it should;

So I will keep on living,

Even if it means being misunderstood.

I've gained knowledge.

I've gained skill.

I know how to focus

On what is real.

Even if our paths never cross again,

As I know full well they could;

That's just one of the things about me

That remains misunderstood.

I realize that,

Just like everyone else does.

But I choose to focus

More on our love.

The biggest thing that scares me-

As rightfully it should...

That bond so powerful,

That is often misunderstood.

If we don't spend

Our forever together,

That doesn't mean it wasn't real...

That kind of love lasts forever!

I hope against hope,

As rightfully I should;

Even though, even to me,

That bond is misunderstood.

I don't have all the answers.

I just hold on to the truth;

Even when that truth

Leads me straight back to you.

I just keep on living

My life the way I should;

Hoping against hope,

That bond won't always be misunderstood.

I know the possibilities.

I'm not going through this blind.

I have no false pretences.

I don't want to rewind.

I needed the time

To do what I could.

I still need time

And hope I'm not misunderstood.

I need time, just like you,

To do the things I haven't done;

To get to the end

Of this path I am on.

To do for myself

These things I should;

So that maybe part of me

Won't be misunderstood.

It's the only part of me

That absolutely no one can take.

It's the truest part of me...

The part I could never fake.

So I cherish this chance you gave,

As only you could.

I know in my heart

I won't always be misunderstood.

I have a certain faith

In this thing that I love.

It's all mine

To be proud of.

No one can take it away from me.

It's not something they should;

For it's my dream,

Even if it's misunderstood.

Maybe when this path ends,

You will then know what you want;

But I can't focus on that now;

I just feel I shouldn't.

I've got too much happening in my life right now

To be worried about " what could's " .

It's actually quite simple , you see.

I don't know why it's so misunderstood.

I won't chase after you this time.

It's something you must decide.

I know what I deserve

And won't be taken for a ride.

It's quite simple, as you can see.

There's not much room to be misunderstood;

This time around, I'm doing for me;

So that I can finally be understood.
