  • 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) Writer/s: EDIE ARLISA BRICKELL, HARPER JAMES SIMON, YUKA HONDA
