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)]
