Mostafa Elsaadi - Let Them Misunderstand

Oh screaming oh
I used to spend my nights explaining
Every sentence every choice
I made
Trying to turn my truth into a language
That everybody else could understand
I changed the edges of my story
Just to make it easier to hear
But somewhere between all those explanations
I disappear behind my fear
Now
I don't need to make it safe
I don't need to make it safe
There are parts of me that only i
Was ever meant to understand
Say what you want to say.
Paint me any
Way you want.
I know the road
Beneath my feet.
I know
Exactly where
I'm going
I don't need to change their minds
Don't need their eyes to see mine
If they only know a chapter
Let them think they know the whole
I won't trade my truth for proof
I won't give away my soul
