(Verse 1) Cracked mirror on my bedroom door, reflects a stranger I can't ignore Black nail polish dripping down my hand, a cryptic message in a foreign land Headphones pumping, drowning out the noise, the whispers follow, judgmental choice They see the darkness, the shadows I cast, but the storm inside, it moves too fast (Chorus) Misunderstood, a label I wear, a broken record, a constant despair My words are weapons, my silence a threat, lost in translation, a lonely regret This heart's a jungle, tangled and wild, but they only see thorns, never the child Yearning for connection, a hand to hold tight, but all I get is the cold, empty night (Verse 2) Poetry scribbled on crumpled up pages, emotions bleeding through shattered cages I wear my scars like badges of war, battles fought behind a locked bedroom door They see the anger, the fire in my eyes, but the pain that fuels it, a silent disguise Laughter's a stranger, a forgotten sound, a melody lost, never to be found (Chorus) Misunderstood, a label I wear, a broken record, a constant despair My words are weapons, my silence a threat, lost in translation, a lonely regret This heart's a jungle, tangled and wild, but they only see thorns, never the child Yearning for connection, a hand to hold tight, but all I get is the cold, empty night (Bridge) Is there someone out there who can hear my plea? Can you see the wreckage, the ghost of me? Break down the walls, peek through the cracks, there's a flicker of hope, a heart that won't crack (Chorus) Misunderstood, a label I wear, a broken record, a constant despair But maybe tonight, the silence will break, a bridge will be built, for my own sake This heart's a jungle, I'll clear out the way, so you can see the beauty, not just the decay Yearning for connection, a hand to hold on, maybe then the cold night will be gone (Outro) Misunderstood, yeah, that's what they say, but maybe someday, I'll find my own way Through the darkness, a light will ignite, and the misunderstood will finally see the light
