For Me (feat. Matt Orion)

I see trees of green, red roses too
They don't bloom for they only bloom for you
You see skies of blue I see clouds of grey
We don't see the world in the same way
When birds are singing in the tree
Or the shingle fizzes from the sea
When the blossom comes out on the trees
There's a beauty that you see

Well life ain't like that for me
I'm still regretting yesterday
No life ain't like that for me
I just see all the mistakes I made
While you plan for tomorrow
And dream how life could be
Life ain't like that for me
No life ain't like that for me

I laugh and joke I seem engaged
I get up and look for work each day
I help my friends I try to care
I care too much for me to bear
You do your bit for charity
Protest march from a to b
Help the helpless every day
Then just walk away

Well life ain't like that for me
I can't switch off my poverty
No life ain't like that for me
There's nowhere else for me to be
You get to live part time
In someone else's misery
Life ain't like that for me
Life ain't like that for me

Life ain't like that for me
I get saved from being me
Life ain't like that for me
Then I'm another notch on your cv
You get the honours and the love
From your community
It ain't like that for me
Life ain't like that for me
