Misunderstood

Give me time and give me space,
so I can try to find a place
where no one else can hear me cry,
question me or wonder why
the things that happend went so wrong;
why I had to take so long.

Give me time and give me space,
I need to find a warm embrace
that doesn't bite me back this time,
no bitter taste of sour lime
or crafty secret hidden intentions,
I only need a bit of attention.

Give me time and give me space,
to lose myself; leave no trace
and start again, somewhere new,
a place where i can have a view
of all the world and people there,
but this time they won't stop and stare.

Give me time and give me space,
this time I won't fall from grace;
embarrass myself and cause a scene,
try to keep my reputation clean;
avoiding breaking up with you,
then you'll realise I love you too.
