Misunderstandings

They said I was young, they said I was foolish As I made many mistakes of all types They misunderstood; I was taking those risks To find some purpose in my life They said I was strong for succeeding in life And never being mentally frail They misunderstood; I worked my hardest To make sure I would never fail They said I was foolish for trying to win you over, For thinking a chance with you was even true They misunderstood; I could never ignore The beauty God had given to you They said it was amazing, despite all the turmoil We had made it for so long They misunderstood; for us it was as easy As discerning right from wrong They called me caring, loving, and charming And being the best husband there could be They misunderstood; I was just trying to give back The love you had bestowed onto me They called me lost, deranged, insane That I was living the epitome of a lie They misunderstood; I was just in denial That you had left my life and died They called me pitiful for weeping at the funeral For not being able to stay through it all They misunderstood; I wanted you alive I wish I had taken the fall They said I was crazy for jumping off that building At the age of thirty seven They misunderstood; I was trying to get to you So we could be together again in heaven
