~ Misunderstood
~
Why is it
some things
are
misconstrued
Why do some
people
always take
things the
wrong way
They destroy
the words
you speak
from your
heart
And
rearrange
the meaning
of what you
say.
I see this
happen all
the time
With
strangers
and even my
family
No matter
what you say
they're
ready to
attack
Sometimes I
wonder if it
could be
jealousy.
Negativity
seems to
play a part
In why they
feel so
cheated
So they
attack their
friends,
their
brothers and
sisters
And complain
about always
being
defeated.
No matter
how often
you try to
explain
Try to help
them to see
things
differently
They become
so upset and
start
yelling at
you
And rip you
apart so
viciously.
Makes no
difference
if it's
their sister
The love has
been
replaced
with hate
They'll
continue
down this
long
darkened
path
Such is
their lot
with fate.
