-- Original, human-written lyrics -- [Verse 1] We were just kids in high school full of emotions, trying to play it cool, anxious and shy, insecurity was the rule, when we met you had me acting like a fool, always worried over other guys you would drool, how could I have known it'd be much more cruel! [Pre-chorus] We're too different, but it wasn't always that way, I was ignorant, of how it would be one day, when we stopped seeing eye-to-eye how things would all go awry. [Verse 2] Relationships from youth are dangerous, who we are still coming into prominence, learning about our own self-confidence, at first I thought it was providence, now I think it was my own wantonness that blinded me to such dire consequence. [Chorus] We're too different, but it wasn't always that way, I was ignorant, of how it would be one day, when we stopped seeing eye-to-eye how things would all go awry, too different, is what I say, you go left and I go right great chasm in between, I should have seen. (I should have seen) [Verse 3] Some high school sweethearts just luck out, matches made in heaven, no doubt, I wanted that to be our story about how we found our perfect soulmate devout but now warnings in my heart shout rest of my life to live your love without. [Final Chorus/Outro] We're too different, but it wasn't always that way, I was ignorant, of how it would be one day, when we stopped seeing eye-to-eye how things would all go awry, too different, is what I say, you go left and I go right great chasm in between, I should have seen, too different, is what I say, you go your way and I'll go mine, so we each can shine, so we each can shine.
