Amphabian - The Key Lyrics

I left home
Because things felt so wrong
And I was tired of the pain
Well now, it looks as though
I'm on my own
And I, I feel so alone
It's not that I had to leave
It's not that I had no choice
It's not because they didn't want me
Or that I wasn't the Boss
It's what they did to me
That's the key
They didn't realize that I play for keeps
And now they know
That I was always right
It just took awhile
For them to see the light
Now, I'm at a new place
And I've had to change my face
I'll never have to drop the pace again
The people here are so different
And I've met my match again
Well, I thought she was my best friend
But it turned out to be my best enemy
Talking, spreading rumors behind my back
What am I supposed to do?
Listen here, I've only been here a year
And I don't need you to cause me no fear
It's not that I had to leave
It's not that I had no choice
It's not because they didn't want me
Or that I wasn't the Boss
It's what they did to me
That's the key
They didn't realize that I play for keeps
And now they know
That I was always right
It just took awhile
For them to see the light
There was that special person
He always was my strength
Not many people saw him
The way that I did
(I guess it's just love)
Although he probably won't understand
But I never will forget that man
And whenever I think
Of his deep blue eyes
It never fails I begin to cry
Now, I look back on the years
I try to forget the tears
Everyone I met, I just can't forget
But I still have no regret
Of leaving home
And I just want you to know
That It's not that I had to leave
It's not that I had no choice
It's not because they didn't want me
Or that I wasn't the Boss
It's what they did to me
That's the key
They didn't realize that I play for keeps
And now they know
That I was always right
It just took awhile
For them to see the light
There's just one more thing
That I have to say
And maybe you'll understand one day
That's it not easy for me to say
But I love you all in my own special way
It's not that I had to leave
It's not that I had no choice
It's not because they didn't want me
Or that I wasn't the Boss
(That I wasn't the Boss)
It's what they did to me
That's the key
It's what they did to me
That's the key

I left home
Because things felt so wrong
And I was tired of the pain
Well now, it looks as though
I'm on my own
And I, I feel so alone
It's not that I had to leave
It's not that I had no choice
It's not because they didn't want me
Or that I wasn't the Boss
It's what they did to me
That's the key
They didn't realize that I play for keeps
And now they know
That I was always right
It just took awhile
For them to see the light
Now, I'm at a new place
And I've had to change my face
I'll never have to drop the pace again
The people here are so different
And I've met my match again
Well, I thought she was my best friend
But it turned out to be my best enemy
Talking, spreading rumors behind my back

Listen here, I've only been here a year
And I don't need you to cause me no fear
It's not that I had to leave
It's not that I had no choice
It's not because they didn't want me
