"Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take but by the moments that take our breath away" - unknown


Everyone's got a label on you
Written across your forehead
It says-
Unmemorable, never beautiful, just plain forgettable

But you know that's not true
Your guarding your heart with all these secrets
Secrets that were never meant to be secrets
Just pieces of you

I know that you're just misunderstood
And if you could set yourself free
If you could let yourself cry
You'd shine brighter than all the twinkling lights in the sky
Yeah I know you would
but for now you're just-
Misunderstood

Your watching yourself slip away
Your light being contained
No one sees your ambitions and dreams
Your goals and hopes
No one cares to hear you out
You want to scream in frustration right now

You feel like you’re becoming a shadow of who you used to be
There's only a ghost inside you
And people only see
Empty eyes and a mind from a different world
They don't know you but they think they do
So show them that they've just misunderstood you

I know that you're just misunderstood
And if you could set yourself free
If you could let yourself cry
You'd shine brighter than all the twinkling lights in the sky
Yeah I know you would
but for now you're just-
Misunderstood

They're trying to push you down
But don't give up
Because I know somewhere in you
There is a light about to burst in you
They're trying to smother you until it feels like you can't even breathe, there's no point in living
Please don't go down that dark path that I'm escaping

I know that you're just misunderstood
And if you could set yourself free
If you could let yourself cry
You'd shine brighter than all the twinkling lights in the sky
Yeah I know you would
but for now you're just-
Misunderstood

Everyone's got a label on you
Written across your forehead
But the only one I see when I'm looking at you is
Memorable, always beautiful, and just plain incredible
