Not the Same Lyrics by Sheldon Riley

Eurovision - Australia Decides 2022

2022

[Verse 1]
I was told at six years old
They'd avoid me if my heart was cold
Found it hard to talk and speak my mind
They never liked the things that I would like
'Cause you're told to play, but you're not the same
As the other kids playing the same games
Try to jump on in, but they push away
So far away

[Chorus]
I'm not the same, no
I'm not the same, no

[Verse 2]
Years went by, I tried and tried
My father asked me if today I smiled
I said, "Yes, I did", but that's a lie
Oh, I always tell those lies
Then you run and hide, hide the break inside
'Til you realise that the light shines bright
Through those, oh, who've broken inside

[Chorus]
I'm not the same, no
I'm not the same, no
I'm not the same, no
I'm not the same, no

[Bridge]
'Cause you never want to be the kind of person
Who can't work it for those ones who cannot word it
'Cause you've been the kind of person who felt this pain
Oh yeah, I felt this pain
So you go and leave the pain and find another way
To make yourself another game
Maybe one for all to play
'Cause it's not just me who's not the same
We're not the same

[Chorus]
We're not the same, no
We're not the same, no
We're not the same, no
We're not the same, no
