This Way Lyrics

This Way

You can't change the way that you're made inside

You try to cover it up… you try to push it aside

You go against your heart and you live the lie

You just ignore the pain inside

Hide it from the world, hoping they don't see

This person inside that you're ashamed to be

Lift up your head, I'm just here to say

You never meant to be This Way

Ooh it's okay

Ooh I finally understand

Hey now, it's okay

You never meant to be This Way

Hey now, it's okay

You never meant to be This Way

So you worked your best to lead a "normal" life

Thought you could beat this if you took a wife

So you met a girl and tried to hold her tight

While within your heart a daily fight

You married for time and all eternity

You were living the dream, raised a family

But she never had your heart, yeah this much was sure

Just couldn't do this anymore

Hey Papa it's okay

I understand and I just want to say

We never knew, you hid it so carefully

We felt the pain, it brought us all to our knees

Hey Papa, it's okay

You tried for thirty years, it wouldn't go away

We know that you love us, Papa we love you too

Just know that our hearts will always be with you

Hey Papa, it's okay

You never meant to be This Way
