just try to understand this isn't what i planned

this ride's out of my hands

so now i'm forced to be something i can not be

if only i could make you see



[chorus]



tonight i'm alive

i've watched you all grow up and so have i

inside this isn't really what i had in mind

i no longer relate to this world of hate

that's forced upon my plate

i tend to disagree, i hope its not just me,

alone if only i could make you see



[chorus (x3)]
