Not The Boy Next Door

[Kurt:]
Coming home used to feel so good
I'm a stranger now in my neighborhood
I've seen the world at a faster pace
And I'm coming now from a diff'rent 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 don't work out 'cause I don't fit in

And those mem'ries 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, uh!

I'm not sorry for just being me
But if you'd look past the past you could see
That I am not (I am not the boy next door)

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
