Lyrics

Not The Same

I was told at six years old They'd avoid me if my heart was cold Found it hard to talk and speak my mind They'd never like the things that I would like

'Cause you're told to play, but you're not the same As the other kids playing the same game Tried to jump on in, but they push away So far away

I'm not the same, no I'm not the same, no

Years go by, I tried and tried My father asked me if today I smiled I said, "Yes I did", but that's a lie Oh, I always tell those lies

And you run and hide, hide the break inside Do you realise that the light shines bright? Through those, oh, who broke inside

I'm not the same, no I'm not the same, no I'm not the same, no I'm not the same, no

'Cause you never want to be a kind of person You can work it for those ones who cannot word it Because you've been the kind of person who felt this pain Yeah, I felt this pain

So you're gonna leave the pain and find another way to make yourself another game Maybe one for all to play 'Cause it's not just me who's not the same We are not the same

I'm not the same, no We are not the same, no We are not the same, no We are not the ѕаme, no
