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 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,

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 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
