Lyrics for Misunderstanding

Misunderstanding is my name What I am is not a game Such an easy trap to fall For anyone And then you find yourself alone No explanation you can give That you or I believe, understand Such a shame, no way to live But hard to get away from Misunderstanding Misunderstanding Only once to know the truth Make things clear at least to some Not everyone That can never happen on its own Help me other people understand That I am not alone Misunderstanding Misunderstanding Misunderstanding, stay away Stay far away from me And from those I love You only want to fuck me up If you can, but I say "no" Lovers need a lot of rest To give their all, to give their best Mistakes are worthless Misunderstanding's worse A game I will not play, a curse Misunderstanding Misunderstanding Misunderstanding Misunderstanding Love is real, love is here The only thing I know for sure Love last longer, have no fear Only you have such allure Only you have such allure Only you have such allure Only you have such allure Only you have such allure Only you have such allure Only you have such allure Only you have such allure Only you have such allure Only you have such allure
