This girl didn't know what happened
When she 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 yourname
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 neverknew
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 yourname
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,
Well 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 getanywhere
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)
