The Misunderstanding Lyrics

Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark The Misunderstanding

well we go at it through our lives
and you can't say it's our imagination
just because we cannot find the proof
we stare at the start for some considerable time
it's increasingly unlike the rest
for as we get older we've become less aware
security lies at the heart of our lives
attaching ourselves to ourselves
we are extinguished but we're still alive
misunderstood but our intention is good
we will not question on our advice
it does you no good
though you think that it should
and it would given half a chance
if there's compassion in your hearts
now that you've seen enough
we've given all of our best
for god's sake enough
please please please please please please please we're standing alone
this is the time of let me say goodbye
regardless I'll find my final truth
we'll sneak out the back door and close it.
