Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark The Misunderstanding Lyrics

Well we know where the true one lies
And you cant say its our imagination
Just because we cannot find the proof
Weve shared this thought for some considerable time
Its increasingly unlike the rest
For as we get older weve become less aware
Security lies at the heart of our lives
Attaching ourselves to ourselves
Were extinguished but were still alive

Misunderstood but our intention is good
We were not questioned on our replies
It does you no good
Though you think that it should
And it would given half a chance
If theres compassion in your hearts
Now that youve seen enough
Weve given of our best
For gods sake you know
Please please please please please please please please can we go home
Is this the time or place to say goodbye
Regardless Ill find my final cue
Well sneak out the back door and close it
