Misunderstood (gently)

I got high smokin’ all my pain

So i lit a cigarette of shame

I tripped on the top of the world

Skinned my knees fallin’ on swords

Saw what i made and it was good

Then destroyed it with some coulda shoulds

I tripped on the top of the world

Threw all my pigs to the pearls

Look, but turn away

Listen to what I don’t say

Feelin’ bad but lookin’ good

Lookin’ sad just like I should 

I just wanna be deep enough to be misunderstood

Feelin’ bad but lookin’ good

Lookin’ sad just like I should 

Someday I’ll be deep enough to be misunderstood

I walked into a bank of fog

Withdrew some prayers I gave to god

I tripped on the top of the world

So I put rims on my 97 Accord

Come here but go away

Lotta words nothin’ to say

Feelin’ bad but lookin’ good

Lookin’ sad just like I should 

I just wanna be deep enough to be misunderstood

Feelin’ bad but lookin’ good

Lookin’ sad just like I should 

Someday I’ll be deep enough to be misunderstood

Misunderstood

I just bought a lot of books

I don’t read but I like the way it looks

Feelin’ bad but lookin’ good

Lookin’ sad just like I should 

I just wanna be deep enough to be misunderstood

Feelin’ bad but lookin’ good

Lookin’ sad just like I should 

Someday I’ll be deep enough to be misunderstood
