We were taking on ourselves
Trying to make it in this world
We were just like the rest
Didn't doubt or imitate
We kept true to our stakes
We weren't
Just like the rest
Five years between our ways
One ocean would separate
But we were always
Just like the rest
No reason to evacuate
Little reason for the break
We were
Just like the rest
Oh
She didn't love my heart
She loved my songs
That girl
She came undone
By every song
And our world
It wasn't meant for everyone
So let me go on
Let me sing on my own
Let me be my own man
Let me fight it out
See the world in the dark
Tired and lonely
She felt sad
Acted out against her plan
She was
Just like the rest
Patience was my plan
Distance in demand
But I was
Just like the rest
Couldn't save her if I tried
Well everyone wears their pride
She wasn't
Just like the rest
And my heart slowly died
And my pride could only cry
She wasn't
Just like the rest
Oh
She didn't love my heart
She loved my songs
That girl
She came undone
By every song
And our world
It wasn't meant for everyone
But it was for me
And it was for her
And we stood true to
The things
We'd do
