I've been misunderstood

I've been misunderstood

By daylight, I'll be gone

I've been living life

Without a reason, yeah

I've been living love

Without the time

You lost touch

You lost touch with what I'm feeling, baby

I got way too tired to read between the lines

Yeah, yeah

I've been misunderstood

I've been mistreated

Somehow I knew you would not take back what you said

I've been misunderstood

But your wish is granted

By daylight I'll be gone

Baby

By daylight I'll be gone

Oh, yeah

Are you asking me

Are you asking me if there's a reason, baby?

To continue what I thought was doing fine

Sounds so fine

Oh, contentment lacks

Contentment lacks mutual pleasing

Baby

It's much different than both being satisfied

I've been misunderstood

I've been mistreated

Somehow I knew you would not take back what you said

I've been misunderstood

But your wish is granted

By daylight I'll be gone

By daylight I'll be gone

Baby, yeah

Never thought I would consider

Loving someone new, no

'Cause in my plans for happiness

I only thought of

Only thought of you

I've been misunderstood

Somehow I knew you would not take back what you said, no, no

I've been misunderstood

But your wish is granted

By daylight I'll be gone

By daylight I'll be gone (By daylight I'll be gone)

I've been misunderstood

Somehow I knew you would not

I've been misunderstood

But your wish is granted

By daylight I'll be gone (By daylight I'll be gone)

By daylight I'll be gone (By daylight I'll be gone)

By daylight, I'll be gone

Baby

I've been misunderstood

Somehow I knew you would not

I've been misunderstood

By daylight I'll be gone

By daylight I'll be gone
