misunderstood

I always thought you understood
I'd never be the girl she was
I'd never wear those kind of clothes
I'd never pierce the side of my nose
I'd never talk the way she talked
I'd never admit what was wrong
But now it's clear for me to see
You want a girl - that's not me

And I'm not hurt I'm misunderstood
Trying to process the day I admitted to you
I thought I was loosing my mind
I struggle to find the joy in life
And while you heard me I know you don't understand
Somethings in life are just way out of your hands
I know you care but it's clear for me to see
You want a girl - that's not me

Keep on trying to convince yourself
That I'm someone else
Who you actually really know

Keep on trying to convince yourself
That I'm good in health
While my brains on overload

Keep on trying to convince yourself
That's it's just a phase
That will fade in time

Keep on trying to convince yourself
That I'm someone else

And I keep acting like it's you
That determines what I say do
But you've spent two years out of my life
And I cant tell wrong from right
And while I know I'm the only one to change my fate
I feel so stuck in my ways
Think I'm safer in my headspace

I keep on trying to convince myself
That I'm someone else
Who I actually really know

I keep on trying to convince myself
That I'm good in health
While my brains on overload

I keep on trying to convince myself
That it's just a phase
That will fade in time

I keep trying to convince myself
That I'm someone else

And I'm not hurt I'm misunderstood
Trying to process the day I admitted to you
I thought I was loosing my mind
I struggle to find the joy in life
And while you heard me I know you don't understand
Somethings in life are just way out of your hands
I know you care but it's clear for me to see
You want a girl - that's not me

I lost myself when I was a teen
Right here in this ancient city
I lost myself tryin be
Like the white girls who towered over me
I lost myself in a teenage dream
One that I could never lead
I lost myself tryin be
Someone detached from reality
