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 cannot 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,
It's forced upon my plate.
I tend to disagree,
I hope it's not just me alone,
If only I could make you see!
[Chorus]
