Grew up on the same street

Grew up on the same God

Together 'til 16

Got baptized then I got lost

You stayed the course while I got high

Didn't grow apart we live different lives

I'm not the same as you

Grew up 'round the same friends

Grew up without wanting more

Viewed life through the same lens

Then I lost sight what the fight was for

You stayed the course while I got drunk

And you stayed around 'til it got too much

I couldn't bear to leave you bruised

I'm not the same as you

And I don't think I'll ever be

And I won't get involved, 'cause I'm not the man that you think you've seen

Your mom would hate me if she knew me well

And I don't wanna put you through that kind of hell

I'm not the same as you, Annabelle

Always had the same plans

Same school, had it figured out

We'll save up for a big van

Pack it up then move down south

It's a life we missed from my mistakes

Same old story ripped out the page

I'll never be the man you knew

I'm not the same as you

And I don't think I'll ever be

And I won't get involved, 'cause I'm not the man that you think you've seen

Your mom would hate me if she knew me well

And I don't wanna put you through that kind of hell

I'm not the same as you, Annabelle
