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 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 same, no
