Lyrics

This is all a dream
Wake up!
Can’t you see that you’re coming into the world
The veil that you once wore
And everything you never saw before

It’s all out in front of you
But tonight
You can’t see through
The clouds in your eyes
And what you’ve held on to
It’s so new it’s true to you

For the past few years
You’ve told yourself
You were living the life of someone else
In the dreams that you knew
It was too much for you to hold on to

And you realize
Your compromises
Everything you’ve idealized
And you try to go back
To what you once knew
It’s not true
It’s new to you

You’re misunderstood
Don’t want to be misunderstood

Coming out of the fog
Right next to you
You can’t show me what you wanted to
The sky is still black
With what I once knew
It’s not new
It’s true to you

So you took me out
For one more try
I couldn’t see it
And I asked you why
You were walking away
As I was talking to you
And you knew it was overdue

You’re misunderstood
Don’t want to be misunderstood
