"Not Misunderstood" lyrics

"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 till 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 till 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 till it pulls you under?
