The Chosen One Lyrics by Alex Brightman

2020

[Alex Brightman]
I used to lie awake each night
And wonder what your world was like
I never knew
Wish I could choose
To have the people say to me:
"You're the normal one!"
They'd all agree
That I'm okay
Was born that way
To be the chosen one!
To not be laughed at, stared at, bullied!
To be the chosen one
And fit in with the crowd!
To be the chosen one
Who always gets invited to the parties!
The chosen one
Who makes Mom and Dad so proud!
[Ryan Vasquez]
I used to lie awake each night
And wonder what your world was like
To be carefree
Not have to be:
The golden boy who always wins
Who never lies and never sins
My life's a joke
And I can't cope!
To be the chosen one
To not live up to what's expected!
The chosen one
Who does things his own way!
To be the chosen one
Who doesn't care if he's accepted!
The chosen one
Who never did obey!
[Both]
If you could live a day inside my shoes
And know the things that I've been going through
Then maybe you would realise:
[Alex Brightman]
I'm not the man you think I am!
[Ryan Vasquez]
Then maybe you would understand!
[Both]
If you could learn to see things through my eyes!
[Alex Brightman(Ryan Vasquez)]
I used to lie awake! (I used to lie awake!)
And wonder 'bout your world! (And wonder 'bout your world!)
I never knew! (To be carefree!)
Wish I could choose! (Not have to be!)
To have the people say, (The golden boy)!
"You're normal" (They never lie!)
That I'm okay! (My life's a joke!)
Was born that way! (And I can't cope!)
[Both]
I'm not the chosen one!
[Alex Brightman]
I'm sorry for the shit you've been through
[Both]
The chosen one!
[Ryan Vasquez]
I'm not the one to blame
[Both]
I'm not the chosen one!
[Alex Brightman]
I have had my share of bad days
[Both]
The chosen one!
[Ryan Vasquez]
I'm not the cause of all your pain
[Both]
I'm not the chosen one!
I'm not the chosen one!
I'm not the chosen one!
The chosen one!
