Misunderstood by August an J

I’m just a castaway

No matter where I stay

I did all I ever could

But, I’m just misunderstood

These days run away from me

Like horses in to the trees

From the reaches of childhood

I’ve been misunderstood

Is this why the world keeps on turnin’?

Can you tell me why I….

I’m on a plane tonight

The edge of the sky in sight

The air is a part of me

As I fall in to the sea

So stand there and watch me fall

Knowing that I’ve been through it all

Like everyone said I would

I’ve been misunderstood

I thought I was a lucky one

I thought I could never lose but I never won

From the pages of a comic book

I’ve been misunderstood

So, I surrender myself tonight

To the future that now controls my life

I did all I thought I should

But, maybe I …misunderstood

Is this why I never feel better?

Maybe I should go now….

If I sail away tonight

Will you promise me you won’t cry

And keep a piece of my heart with you

As the waves take me further to

A place I may never know

Where memories fade and stories grow

From the wreckage of where I stood

Will I be misunderstood?
