lyrics

You used to think it would be easier for you
You wish your time could be spent on better things
You never wanted it to be like this
Your childhood dreams went all amiss

I really do know all about you.

You could return to the place you're from
You're scared of nothing and everyone
You hoped your life would be more fulfilled with less worry

I really do know all about you.
You don't even know I feel the same way

You never wanted it to be like this
You thought your life would be more bliss
You hoped your dream would all come true

I really do know all about you.
