Im not like him

Peoples pasts cause problems
they make your heart's light go dim
before you jump to any conclusions
i want to say I'm not like him

it might have been a boyfriend in the past
it could have been your father
I'm not going to try to hide it i know you see it
so i wont even bother

we all have something different
that sets us all apart
why is it so hard to see I'm not lying
just look inside your heart

so before you go to sleep
and put your lights on dim
before i say anything i want you to know
I'm not like him
