You Don't Understand Me

You say I'm falling down

But I'm actually standing up

You're headed in one direction

But I'm going the opposite way

I haven't finished speaking,

But you already "know" what I'm telling you

You can't read my mind

You can't possibly know what I'm going to say

And when I do get a chance to speak,

I stumble over my words

I almost don't want to speak because I know you're there judging me

Sometimes I rather let you think what you want of me

Because you obviously know me better than I know myself

(I'm being sarcastic, if you didn't know)

One of theses days I'm just going to stop talking

We'll see what you'll make of my words then

You don't understand me

You won't ever understand me if you don't ever listen

And I'm tired of trying to get you to understand what I'm trying to say
