A Misunderstanding

You misunderstood me, Ma'am
I didn't mean what I said
I thought you said that you would understand?
I thought you said that you would listen?

But I barely got out a sentence
Before you grabbed your robe and gabble
Before you got the jury ready
But didn't bother to appoint me an attorney

How could you?!
I thought you were different!
I thought that you understood me
I thought you cared

Shame on me to believe one lie after another
To make myself comfortable in a place where I had no business
Foolish of me to trust again
Naive old me

But I understand why you did what you did
I understand why you said what you said
But what I don't understand...
Is why you didn't understand
