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

Refrain:
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

Refrain (3x)
