Aron Wright Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I know how people can be
When leaders, cheaters, liars than make you believe
None of us are safe, I guess all that they said
But you ... were supposed to be different
yeahhh
Darling you ... were supposed to be different
To other morrow's
Uuuhhhh
When bowls are just full
Blinded by all afecction
Cause I learned my lesson
None of us are safe
We are the same
But you ... were supposed to be different
yeahhh
Darling you ... were supposed to be different
You could say it'll be perfect
But you have to be realist
I ask you for your honestly
you ... were supposed to be...
Darling you ... were supposed to be different
yeahhh
Yes I thought it was something, it isn't
and never will be
