Misunderstood Lyrics
I was trying to be misunderstood
But it didn't do me any good
I always seem to start a fight
I'd break my heart to make things right
Let them all fly off
When it comes down it all comes down
And you will not be found
When it's over it's all over
And even if you make a sound
You'll be misunderstood
By the beautiful and good in this city
But none of it was planned
Take me by the hand
Just don't try and understand
Trying to be misunderstood
Another product of my childhood
Still I find myself outside
You can't say I haven't tried
Perhaps I tried too hard
No excuses I won't apologise
Or justify your lies
Come and find me tell them to me
Now look me in the eyes
I'll be misunderstood
By the beautiful and good in this city
But none of it was planned
Take me by the hand
Just don't try and understand
I can't forgive sorry to say
Don't know you're guilty anyway
Isn't it funny how we don't speak
The language of love?
But it didn't do me any good
I always seem to start a fight
I'd break my heart to make things right
Let them all fly off
And you will not be found
When it's over it's all over
And even if you make a sound
By the beautiful and good in this city
But none of it was planned
Take me by the hand
Just don't try and understand
Another product of my childhood
Still I find myself outside
You can't say I haven't tried
Perhaps I tried too hard
Or justify your lies
Come and find me tell them to me
Now look me in the eyes
By the beautiful and good in this city
But none of it was planned
Take me by the hand
Just don't try and understand
Don't know you're guilty anyway
Isn't it funny how we don't speak
The language of love?

Trying to be misunderstood But it doesn´t do me any good Love the way they smiled at me Held their face for eternity Now let them all fly off
When it comes down It all comes down And you will not be found
When it´s over It´s all over Even if I make a sound
I´ll be misunderstood By the beautiful and good In this city
None of it was planned Take me by the hand Just don´t try and understand
Trying to be misunderstood Just a product of my childhood And still I find myself outside You can´t say I haven´t tried Perhaps I tried too hard
No excuses I won´t apologise Or justify your lies
Come and find me Tell them to me Look me in the eyes
I´ll be misunderstood By the beautiful and good In this city
None of this was planned Take me by the hand Just don´t try and understand
Can´t forgive – sorry to say You don´t know you´re guilty anyway Isn´t it funny how we don´t speak The language of love
first time i heard this song i thought it was by U2.
in my opinion this is his best song. atleast its my favourite. the other ones i can't stand especially the radio friendly popular stuff.
the knockout lines
"cause when it comes down it all comes down... and you will not be found."
"i can't forgive sorry to say... you don't know youre guilty anyway."
i love this song 2. i agree its one his best..n my fave. i duno tho its hard 2 know what its about. ive got in my head that it might be comething 2 do with his kids? or someones children neway. and his experience as a child, im not sure, or maybe a childhood sweetheart? i dont know lol, it hard 2 work out. but ill keep trying. love the song tho.
has anybody the dialog text from the music video to this song? the thing is that i'd like to know what exactly says robbie about her slips!!
Thanks Leishy for the right lyrics .... I've asked for the meaning of the song on some site , and A friend called whitney has answered me this : "" i believe he is talking to a specific person and trying to explain himself where no one else understands him, he wants this person to. by "trying to be misunderstood" i think he means he already knows he's going to be so why not succumb to it. face for eternity is they always think the same thing and can't fathom anything else. the next little paragraph i think hes kind of expecting bad to come from even trying. next part, i think he's saying like cops or ppl who are supposed to be considered "good" don't believe that he didn't mean any harm and he's asking the person who he feels mostly or at least somewhat understood by or trusts to believe him instead of them. "i won't apologize or justify your lies" is he knows he's telling the truth, whether or not anyone believes him at all. i think the you don't know you are guilty anyway is they don't really know they are wrong or are misunderstanding him or believe him but they don't necessarily mean harm by it, but it still hurts. idk, just my personal opinion on this matter.."""
thx
I love this song! I have been a massive Robbie fan since the 90's Take That days and this would be in my Top 3 Robbie songs, and I loved that they used it in Bridget Jones 2 as well.
I love the lyrics especially:
"No excuses, I won't apologize, or justify your lies, come to me, tell it to me, look me in the eyes" I think that would be someone who doesn't understand who he fully is as an entertainer and a real person away from the limelight as well.
