Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Still didn't know what happened

When you knocked upon my door

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

[PreChorus]

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

[Chorus]

Said you'd never get anywhere

Well, they don't care and it's just not fair

That you know and I know better

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

[Verse 2]

Well the weeks 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

[PreChorus]

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

[Chorus]

Said you'd never get anywhere

Well, they don't care and it's just not fair

That you know and I know better

Said you'd never get anywhere

Well, they don't care and it's just not fair

That you know and I know better

[Bridge]

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

[PreChorus]

Oh, now, you can see the reason why not everyone's the same

And you don't have to please them, or try hard

[Chorus]

Said you'd never get anywhere

Well, they don't care and it's just not fair

That you know and I know better

Said you'd never get anywhere

Well, they don't care and it's just not fair

That you know and I know better

Said you'd never get anywhere

They don't care and it's just not fair

You know and I know better

[Outro]

A one, two, three, four, said you'd never get anywhere

Well, they don't care and it's just not fair

[Outro]

You're never gonna get anywhere

Yeah, that's what they tell me

[Outro]

Never, never, never, never, never, never

Never gonna get anywhere

They don't care, and that's not fair

[Outro]

They said you'd never get anywhere

They don't care and it's just not fair

That you know and I know
