Things just aren't going that well
I've been back and forth through hell
I'm tired of racing blindly around the track
For some reason I just keep coming back
Patiently waiting here for your call
While you're turning away from it all
I might as well be misunderstood
You're not hearing me so good
I might as well be in the dark
You can't see things falling apart, no
It's like a blow that you'd never dealt
It's like a pain that I'd never felt
Go on and cut me so I can bleed
Just let me have it so I can be free
Patiently waiting here for your call
While you're turning away from it all
I might as well be misunderstood
You're not hearing me so good
I might as well be in the dark
You can't see things falling apart, no
Rain fell on the things that you had set outside to dry
You thought you had shut the door but left it open wide
You hear the sound of silence as the marching band goes by
Love you but I'm leaving here
Don't say I didn't try
I might as well be misunderstood
You're not hearing me so good, no
I might as well be in the dark
You can't see things falling apart
I might as well be misunderstood
You're not hearing me so good, no
I might as well be in the dark
You can't see things falling apart
I might as well be misunderstood
'Cause you ain't giving me so good
I might as well be in the dark
Can't you see it falling apart, Lord yeah?
