Misunderstood - Better than Ezra

Lyrics | Better Than Ezra lyrics - Misunderstood lyrics

Here's another song I like from BTE. I'm quite surprised that I didn't include this in my first few/earliest posts, because I can very much relate to it. The song is, in part, about a girl wanting to become a star but never getting the break she needs. She persisted, even "waiting tables" etc., and was able to make it eventually. And the song also juxtaposes how people thought she was crazy and how people started treating her differently when she did make it big. Or something to that effect, yeah.

In some way, it also captures what I (and I believe, what most of us) go through every now and then. Sometimes, people don't understand why I do the things that I do. People would think I'm weird just because I want to be. Nobody really asks questions and most just insinuate/speculate and come to really perverse conclusions about who I really am. Which is a shame, really.

The song also got it right re: people only wanting to be your friend because they can get something out of you...

"Everybody wants to be your friend
When you've got something you can give them
All I've seen, bad and good, she's not crazy
Just a little misunderstood..."
