Not The Boy Next Door
Glee Cast · Other Songs - Glee Cast
I'm a stranger now in my neighborhood
I've seen the world at a faster pace
And I'm coming now from a different place
Though I may look the same way to you
Underneath there is somebody new
I am not the boy next door
I don't belong like I did before
Nothing ever seems like it used to be
You can have your dreams, but you can't have me
Oh, I can't come back there anymore
'Cause I am not the boy next door
You've been saving those souvenirs
Faded photographs from our foolish years
We made plans, but they're wearing thin
And they won't work out 'cause I don't fit in
And those memories will just weigh me down
'Cause I got no place to keep 'em uptown
I am not the boy next door
I don't belong like I did before
Nothing ever seems like it used to be
You can have your dreams, but you can't have me
Oh, I can't go back there anymore
'Cause I am not the boy next door
And I'm sorry for just being me
But if you'd look past the past you could see that
I am not
Nothing ever seems like it used to be
You can have your dreams, oh, but you can't have me
I can't go back there anymore
'Cause I am not (you are not)
I am not (you are not)
I am not the boy next door
