Still didn't know what happened When you knocked upon my door The things you had, the life you lived All the dreams you had before. Your eyes you face 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 everything you 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 man 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 ever 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)
