Take me by the hand

Just don't try and understand
Try to be misunderstood
Just a product of my childhood
And still I find myself outside
You can't say I haven't tried
Perhaps I tried too hard
No excuses
I won't apoligise
Or justify your lies
Come find me
Tell them to me
Look me in the eyes
I'll be misunderstood
By the beautiful and good in...This city
None of this was planned
Take me by the hand
Just dont try and understand
E B A B
Can't forgive sorry to say
E B A B
You don't know you're guilty anyway
E A
Isn't it funny how we don't speak
B E(ring)
The language of love
