In a strange world where people lurk who used to know your name
I look around and realize I am not the same
I walk along with blinders on to block the point of view
Of people walking close to me who told me what to do
CHORUS
Oh I’ve got nothing to say for myself
I’m not like anyone like everybody else
Oh I’ve got nothing to say for myself
I’m not like anyone like everybody else
I am just a wanderer rebuilt and torn apart
Late bloomers need to take their time to find out who they are
And fickle folks who blow their smoke for all the world see
Remind me it’s a waste of time to try too hard to please
[REPEAT CHORUS]
Your opinion don’t matter
BRIDGE
Looking back I see I’m nothing
More than what they think
Looking forward I see I’m something
More than I have ever dreamed
[REPEAT CHORUS]
No I’m not (not) No I’m not
No I’m not
Like everybody else
No I’m not (not) No I’m not
No I’m not
Like everybody else
