[Verse 1]
Just try to understand, this isn't what I planned
This ride's out of my hands
So now I'm forced to be, something I can not be
If only I could make you see

[Chorus]
Tonight, I'm alive
I've watched you all grow up and so have I
Inside
This isn't really what I had in mind

[Verse 2]
I no longer relate, to this world of hate
That's forced upon my plate
I tend to disagree, I hope it's not just me
Alone if only I could make you see

[Chorus]
Tonight, I'm alive
I've watched you all grow up and so have I
Inside
This isn't really what I had in mind

I had in mind
I had in mind
[Chorus]
Tonight, I'm alive
I've watched you all grow up and so have I
Inside
This isn't really what I had in mind

[Outro]
This time
I watch you all grow up and so have I
Inside
This isn't really what I had in mind
I had in mind
