lyrics

We're not so different
You and I
That’s what I said
That's what you wanted to hear
But what I meant was
We are all the same
Am I loud and clear

Now you get how it feels to hurt
As if you did not already know
Here is a lesson I am teaching you
A little quid pro quo

We're not so different
You and I
That’s what I said
Much to my regret
Let us not forget
Just who is the master
And who is the pet

I cannot give you what you want
But I will give you what you need
I will cut you up into a million pieces
And I will stand back and watch you bleed

We're not so different
You and I
That’s what I said
But now I take it all back
We won’t be close
And we never will
That is the cold hard fact
