Misunderstanding

Is this just a big misunderstanding?
Or are we just going to keep running
Do we have the coals to start a flame?
If it doesn’t work, neither of us are to blame
Except for you, you could have tried
You could’ve been truthful, not have lied
I’m sick of being left alone
You can tell we were in the zone
We had just gotten a spark, when you cheated on me
I still don’t get it, I still don’t see
Why you went behind my back
And did something as stupid as that
I don’t want to look at you
I don’t want to talk to you
I don’t want to listen to anything you have to say
I’m done with this, I’m not going to stay.
