This girl didn't know what happened when you knocked upon my door
The things you had, the life you lived all the dreams you had before
Your eyes were facin' your heart and soul, you know they said it all
What happened on that day back then, the moment hurt us all
Now you can see the reason why not everyone's the same
And you don't have to please them, or try hard to save your name
They said you'd never get anywhere
Well, they don't care and it's just not fair
That you know, and I know better
They said you'd never get anywhere
Well, they don't care and it's just not fair
That you know, and I know better
(Yes, I do)
Well, the days go by and you wonder why, "Is this really true?"
Your heart says "No" but your feelings show the poor baby never knew
But you and I, we knew deep down, that ain't really you
We always knew that it'd work out right and we could start anew
Now you can see the reason why not everyone's the same
And you don't have to please them, or try hard to save your name
They said you'd never get anywhere
Well, they don't care and it's just not fair
That you know, and I know better
They said you'd never get anywhere
Well, they don't care and it's just not fair
That you know, and I know better
Well, things ain't always what they seem
So wake up and get outta your dreams
Things ain't always what they seem so wake up!
Well, things ain't always what they seem
Wake up, man, you're in my dreams!
Things ain't always...
Oh, now you can see the reason why not everyone's the same
And you don't have to please them, or try hard
They said you'd never get anywhere
Well, they don't care and it's just not fair
That you know, and I know better
They said you'd never get anywhere
Well, they don't care and it's just not fair
That you know, and I know better
They said you'd never get anywhere
They don't care and it's just not fair
That you know, and I know better
A one, two, three, four, they said you'd never get anywhere
Well, they don't care and it's just not fair
You're never gonna get anywhere
That's what they tell me
Never, never, never, never, never, never
Never gonna get anywhere
They don't care, and that's not fair!
They said you'd never get anywhere
They don't care and it's just not fair
That you know, and I know better
