(Verse 1)
I’ve always felt that nobody really understood me and that I would rather die than go on livin’. I feel like I’m falling into some monotonous de je vue; that nobody understands me.
(Chorus)
Nobody understands, nobody wants to listen, nobody lets me live the way I wanna live, sometimes I feel no one even cares, nobody asks me what I want and what I need the most. Nobody understands nobody gives me rights; don’t I deserve what I should have? Nobody understands.
(Verse 2)
And then there’s those people, they act like they don’t have souls, and when I try to let it slide it hurts all the more, but I know its what’s right. So I’m just gonna let it by.
(Chorus)
(Verse 3)
And when I’ve had enough, I hit the streets I pass the old school house, walk up the hill, through those 2 big doors and then I remember that SOMEBODY UNDERSTANDS.
(Chorus 2)
Somebody understands, somebody wants to listen, somebody lets me live the way that I should live, and when I feel that no one even cares I look up at that cross and then I know that somebody cares, somebody gives me rights, somebody asks me what I want and what I need the most, somebody understands.
(Verse 4)
And when I feel that nobody understands all I gotta do is think about Him, and I’ll know that somebody understaaaands.
