Different

"It's the way I'm built only way I know how to be

The "nice guy" yea that's how they all categorize me

It's all well and good when I put everyone before myself

Until I catch onto the lies and I just resort to caring for myself

Most of the people around me are not worthy of me caring

Yet something inside me tells me "your heart, just keep sharing"

I often give people labels they never live up to

Maybe they're unrealistic expectations 

But I figure if I can live up to it then they should too

I know I can't be the only one that thinks this way

Often thinking I was born in the wrong era because of it

Instead of being ahead of my time I feel left behind

Everyone says that they're mature

But just because you think like most do don't be so sure

Do you often think about your future and have it planned? I do

It almost never goes as planned as I'd like to, but I keep goin'

I can't put my head down my smile I'll keep showin'

I feel like I don't need to go back to the future but rather the past

Where a relationship was yearned for and not just a piece of ass

I know that sounds weird coming from a dude

You're just used to hearin' them getting at you and being all rude

That's not me, I prefer the companionship aspect of a special bond

The sex is part of the plan it just comes along

It's funny because I know everyone plays the "im different" card

I don't even bother saying it because those before me make believing it so hard

I'd rather show what I'm about and how my brain works

Rather than worrying about the club and what shoes to wear with which shirts

Step into my shoes and see what's really good

Hopefully I can inspire even if it's just one

If I can change at least a person I feel like my job in life is done..."
