Misunderstood Ways

What was that that was haunting me and yet,
Lurks into the mysterious ghost town.
I could never figure it out I bet;
Why else would I wear this unfaithful frown?
A tear that dribbles past my years of lies;
Couldn't you people ever understand?
I was never good enough as time flies,
Nor good enough for anyone to stand.
For all the years you knew me, don't you see?
No, thats it - you've never seen me have you;
So how can I figure it out to be
exactly what its purpose is to do.
So if things aren't ever what they seem
Then on me, that spotlight will never gleam...
