They saw my life
They said it was fine
But not enough
So maybe if I play
Go along with the game
I'll learn to love it
They showed me where to sign
Put my name across the line
To seal it
They promised me I'd love the change
Gave me a different name to go by
But it's not all it was supposed to be
No it's not all it cracked up to be
Nobody ever told me
Nobody ever told me that I would
Go home feeling lonely
Won't you show me
Won't you show me where I'm wrong this time
Nobody ever told me
It wasn't meant to hold me at all
People start to ask
Where I'm in and where I'm at
I'm scared to say
I try to explain
That everything's ok
And just move on
'Cause my heart is getting cold and
I'm scared I'll never know how to feel
They promise me I'll love the change
But that's so hard for me to fake these days
'Cause it's not what it was supposed to be
No it's not what it was cracked up to be
Nobody ever told me
Nobody ever told me that I would
Go home feeling lonely
Won't you show me
Won't you show me where I'm wrong this time
Nobody ever told me
It wasn't meant to hold me at all
Not sure where to go
I went back on my own
And my family
I hope they understand
I wanna be a good man
But I'm just a boy
And I know that I'm not who I am supposed to be
But I tried
I swear I tried please believe me
Nobody ever told me
Nobody ever told me that I would
Go home feeling lonely
Won't you show me
Won't you show me where I'm wrong this time
Nobody ever told me
Nobody ever told me
It wasn't meant to hold me at all
'Cause nobody ever told me
Nobody told me that I would
Go home and still be lonely
I guess I misunderstood
I guess I misunderstood
I guess I misunderstood
