Understand U - New Model Army

Ch: They don’t understand you

None of them understand you

Tonight, as you stare at the ceiling again

With you 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.
