Under the surface, we're all the same
Searching for purpose, hiding from shame
I got your letter, it tells me who's to blame
And do you feel better, causing me pain?
So much pain
And I'm sorry I'm not all the things that you want
All the things that you thought I would be
I guess I'm not like you, not something you're used to
Maybe something brand new you've never seen
Wish I could read your mind, be part of your kind
I would be if I could, misunderstood
Wish I could somehow be all that you want from me
But now I'm gone for good, misunderstood
You know I can't help it, I get too attached
But I take every flower I gave you
And note that I made you and song that I sang you
I wish I could take them back, take them back
And I'm sorry I'm not all the things that you want
All the things that you thought I would be
I guess I'm not like you, not something you're used to
Maybe something brand new you've never seen
Wish I could read your mind, be part of your kind
I would be if I could, misunderstood
Wish I could somehow be all that you want from me
But now I'm gone for good, misunderstood
I'm sorry I'm not all the things that you want
All the things that you thought I would be
I guess I'm not like you, not something you're used to
Maybe something brand new you've never seen
I'm so sorry
Wish I could read your mind, be part of your kind
I would be if I could, misunderstood
Wish I could somehow be all that you want from me
But now I'm gone for good, misunderstood
(I'm so sorry)
I'm sorry I'm not all the things that you want
All the things that you thought I would be
I guess I'm not like you, not something you're used to
Maybe something brand new you've never seen
Wish I could read your mind, be part of your kind
I would be if I could, misunderstood
Wish I could somehow be all that you want from me
But now I'm gone for good, misunderstood
Under the surface, we're all the same
