Never Be the Same Lyrics

I'VE STOOD WITH BOTH FEET IN THE OCEAN
UNDERNEATH A STARRY SKY
I'VE SAT UP ON MY DADDY'S SHOULDERS
AND WATCHED THE PARADE GO BY
I'VE HEARD THE SWEET SOUND OF A LOVER
SOFTLY WHISPERING MY NAME
I'VE FELT THE HEAT, I'VE FELT THE HUNGER
AND I WILL NEVER BE THE SAME
.
CHORUS:
I'VE TASTED KISSES AND I'VE TASTED TEARS
WATCHED LOVE GROW AND WATCHED IT DISAPPEAR
I HAVE SEARCHED FOR TRUTH AND CHOSEN LIES
I'VE BEEN SELFISH AND I'VE SACRIFICED
I'VE LET GO TOO SOON, HELD ON TOO HARD
BROKEN PROMISES AND BROKEN HEARTS
I HAVE LIVED AND LEARNED AND HEALED AND HURT AND LAUGHED AND CURSED AND PRAYED
AND I WILL NEVER BE THE SAME
.
I'VE GIVEN UP THE THINGS I NEEDED
AND WHAT I THOUGHT MADE ME WHOLE
AND I'VE FOUND BEAUTY IN MY WEAKNESS
I'M NOT AFRAID TO LET IT SHOW
AND I HAVE SCREAMED OUT LOUD TO JESUS
WHEN I THOUGHT HE COULDN'T HEAR MY PAIN
BUT THEN I HEARD THE ANSWER
AND I WILL NEVER BE THE SAME
.
CHORUS:
I'VE TASTED KISSES AND I'VE TASTED TEARS
WATCHED LOVE GROW AND WATCHED IT DISAPPEAR
I HAVE TRUSTED AND I'VE BEEN BETRAYED
FOUGHT MY WAY BACK OUT OF MY MISTAKES
I HAVE LOST MY FAITH, BEEN FOUND BY GRACE
I'VE MADE TEARS RUN DOWN MY MOTHER'S FACE
I HAVE LIVED AND LEARNED AND HEALED AND HURT AND LAUGHED AND CURSED AND PRAYED
AND I WILL NEVER BE THE SAME
.
CHORUS:
I HAVE LAID FRESH FLOWERS ON A GRAVE
SEEN THE FUTURE IN A BABY'S FACE
I HAVE LIVED AND LEARNED AND HEALED AND HURT AND LAUGHED AND CURSED AND PRAYED
AND I WILL NEVER BE THE SAME
I WILL NEVER BE THE SAME
I WILL NEVER BE THE SAME
