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
