Ch: They don't understand you
   None of them understand you
  
   Tonigh, as you stare at the ceiling again
   With your lover turning away
   Disappointment closing in
   Like the walls... and you try...
   You try to talk about love
   And they put their arms around you
   But still you feel all alone
   Wonder why...
  
   Ch: They don't understand you
   None of them understand you
  
   And it doesn't have to be this way
   I know you try to do the things they say
   Just because you don't know what it is that you feel
   Doesn't mean you can hide it away
   Well you try to be less than you are but they know
   Yes they know... and silence is a dangerous game
   And words are dangerous too
   And you've spoken the best that you can...
  
   Ch: They don't understand you
   None of them understand you
  
   And it doesn't have to be this way
   I know you've tried to do everything that they say...
