Grew up on the same street
Grew up on the same God
Together till 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
But I lost sight what the fight was for
You stayed the course while I got drunk
You stayed around til it got too much
I can'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 plan
Same school had it figured out
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
