This place has begun to cover me  I recall the light, but the dark smothers me  I prefer the feelings I know right now  I don't worry about feeling very proud    You don't know how it feels  To be misunderstood  To reach for the sky  I thought you never would  You don't know how it feels  To be misunderstood  To reach for the sky  I thought you never would    But I'm bleeding, and my hands are bruised  From the grip that I once had on you  And I'm open for a new way  Because there's not much more that I can fake    It's almost seeing your soul for the first time  And watching the mirror show you life in rewind  Capture the ridicule of everyone  I'm tired of trying, and they wonder why I'm gone    You don't know how it feels  To be misunderstood  To reach for the sky  I thought you never would  You don't know how it feels  To be misunderstood  To reach for the sky  I thought you never would    But I'm bleeding, and my hands are bruised  From the grip that I once had on you  And I'm open for a new way  Because there's not much more that I can fake    I can't fake it    You don't know how it feels  To be misunderstood  To reach for the sky  I thought you never would  You don't know how it feels  To be misunderstood  To reach for the sky  I thought you never would    But I'm bleeding, and my hands are bruised  From the grip that I once had on you  And I'm open for a new way  Because there's not much more that I can fake  But I'm bleeding, and my hands are bruised  From the grip that I once had on you  And I'm open for a new way  Because there's not much more that I can fake
