Different

We were sitting on the rooftop
In my hometown 'til the lights went down
Kickin' back, reminiscin' on the days
When we shared each other's laugh
Nobody got down like us, straight crazy
Yeah, we're singin', tryin' to have some fun

Thought it would never pass
Something changed, then it hit me too fast
You were hidin', I was losing you
Too ashamed to tell me the truth, the truth
Tell me the truth

You were so, so different, different
You were so, so different
Who are you? Who are you?
Who are you? Where did you go?
That's just the way it is, people come and they go

What's goin' on, homie? Haven't seen you in a long while
Your mom's told me you're lost, lonely, and grown wild
I miss talkin' and walkin' with you like old times
We were so tight, now we ain't got no ties

I heard you're hurtin' but hurtin' some other people too
Some people close to you, and now they ghosted you
I'm sorry things ain't as tame as they used to prove
Back in the day, when we kicked it at school

I know the coast had us all torn up
But we gotta own up, man, we all grown up
No judgin', I was so dumb, runnin' toward a loaded gun
But the Lord already set His plan in motion

And let me clarify, that's for the both of us
You got the invite too, only you holdin' up
I know it's hard tryin' to fully follow God
But you got a choice in life, no matter what's goin' on

You were so, so different, different
You were so, so different
Who are you? Who are you?
Who are you? Where did you go?
That's just the way it is, people come and they go

Forget to get the former things
Do not dwell on the past
My God is doin' a new a thing
And this, my dear, is gonna last

You were so, so different, different
You were so, so different
You were so, so different, different
You were so, so different, yeah, yeah, yeah

That's just the way it is (that's the way it is)
Don't look back, yeah, people come and they go
Different, yeah, yeah, yeah
No lookin' back, keep pressin' forward
