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 never liked 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 games

Try to jump on in but they push away

So far away

I'm not the same, no

I'm not the same, no

Years went 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

Then you run and hide, hide the break inside

'Til you realize 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 the kind of person

Who can't work it for those ones who can not word it

'Cause you've been the kind of person who felt this pain

Oh, yeah, I felt this pain

So you go and 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're not the same

We're not the same, no

We're not the same, no

We're not the same, no

We're not the same, no
