Rejection tars the roads where I have been
Still I'm holding on to the same dream
Came through fire and the pouring rain
To be told that I'm the one to blame

Misunderstood
(Never thought that I would)
Didn't know that I could be
(Misunderstood)
Misunderstood
(Never thought that I would)
Didn't know that I could be
(Misunderstood)

They're chasing shadows and they'll never know
The truth about us and their fears will grow
Only we know what has not been told
We'll meet in secret in the fields of gold

Misunderstood
(Never thought that I would)
Didn't know that I could be
(Misunderstood)
Misunderstood
(Never thought that I would)
Didn't know that I could be
(Misunderstood)

So now they come to see me cry
Too late now, the well's run dry
I know they think I'm putting chains on you
Let the fools believe, it's what they wanna do

Misunderstood
(Never thought that I would)
Didn't know that I could be
(Misunderstood)
Misunderstood
(Never thought that I would)
Didn't know that I could be
(Misunderstood)
