Not Misunderstood

You're hurting and we've all cried But we did what we could Show me something that's worth this fight Show me something good The times you stood by me, brother Right by my side One hand upon my shoulder The other holding a knife How long can you tread this water? How long 'til it pulls you under? How long before you discover That I know now, and you're not misunderstood? You pretend that you're not bleeding Wounded by your lies You ignore the changing seasons You just close your eyes The times you stood behind me, brother Didn't see you hide One foot in another direction With one foot keeping time How long can you tread this water? How long 'til it pulls you under? How long before you discover That I know now, and you're not misunderstood? That I know now, and you're not misunderstood The times you stood by me, brother Right by my side How long can you tread this water? How long 'til it pulls you under?
