lyrics

Love and Misunderstanding – Barry Oreck and Jessica Nicoll

Oh, you lovers crying in vain
Did you think now that you found the one you’re free from the pain
For the words they will pierce you, the looks they will bruise
It will never be so easy when you’ve got so much to lose
Your dreams have spoiled you, perfection you can’t find
There will never be a real thing like the person in your mind
Take a sweet bite of apple a sour one of lime
Reaching for the branches you’ve just begun to climb
Love and misunderstanding, never far apart
Asking for, then demanding, I thought you knew my heart

Innocent confusion of the simplest kind
Shatters the illusion that he can read her mind
He was plucking roses in bloom by the front gate
She was in the honeysuckles wondering why he was late
But lovely roses can prick you, sweet smelling honeysuckle overwhelms
Will they make it through the underbrush or will it drag them in again?
Thrashing cuts them deeper, shouting no one hears
They meet in chance encounters they touch each other’s fears
Love and misunderstanding, never far apart
Asking for, then demanding, I thought you knew my heart
Thought you knew, thought you knew my heart

All these stories I see them so clear
holding then breaking, distant while near
I look back in wonder and see loves first bloom
But I never let the tender blossoms weather winter’s dark gloom
My dreams they did spoil me, perfection I can never find
There can never be a real thing like the person in my mind.
Lost in this moment, we let down our guard
Falling’s so easy, the landing is so hard
Love and misunderstanding, never far apart
Asking for, then demanding, I thought you knew my heart
Thought you knew, thought you knew, I thought you knew my heart
Thought you knew, thought you knew, I thought you knew my heart
