[Verse 1]
I am an ordinary boy
I tell an ordinary story
Of a life I thought was once unique
But now I know I'm wrong
The wheels are falling off
It should be sad, but no, it's not
'Cause now I've realised

[Chorus]
That, oh, we all feel pain from time to time
Oh, we all feel shame from time to time, oh

[Verse 2]
I hear them talking in the street
Their voices like a symphony
They carry on about my life
As if they've seen it on TV
It all comes back to expectation
Experience, then revelation
As we discover some relationships
Were never meant to be
But do they really see?

[Chorus]
That, oh, we all feel pain from time to time
Oh, we all feel shame from time to time
Oh, it weighs so heavy on my mind
Oh, it's time to leave the past behind, oh
[Bridge]
You know I know what you know
I think it's time we let go
And I'm thinking 'bout my life, and how it fell apart
But today you know I've realised, it's only just the start

[Verse 1]
I am an ordinary boy (I am an ordinary boy)
I tell an ordinary story (I tell an ordinary story)
Of a life I thought was once unique (of a life I thought was once unique)
But now I know I'm wrong
The wheels are falling off (the wheels are falling off)
It should be sad, but no, it's not (it should be sad)
'Cause now I've realised

[Chorus]
That I can put this pain from out my mind
I won't wear this shame throughout my life
Ah, nobody said that life was kind
Ah, but I think it's time we said goodbye
Ah, we all feel pain from time to time
Ah, we all feel shame from time to time
Ah, oh-oh
