Keke Palmer - Things Aren't Always What They Seem Lyrics






[Verse 1]
It’s hard enough to find the time to sleep
It’s easier to find the time to dream
Another night spent too far from the stars
Things Aren’t Always What They Seem
It’s hard enough to find my place at home
It’s easier out here on my own
A father’s love is no such thing I know
Things Aren’t Always What They Seem

[Chorus]
Oh Things Aren’t Always What They Seem
Things Aren’t Always What They Seem
To be and I just hope your memory’s proud of me
I might cry myself to sleep
And imagine that you’re here with me

[Verse 2]
It’s hard enough to find someone to trust
It’s easier to live life scared to love
A mother’s touch is going way too soon
Things Aren’t Always What They Seem

[Chorus]
No Things Aren’t Always What They Seem
Things Aren’t Always What They Seem
To be and I just hope your memory’s proud of me
I might cry myself to sleep
And imagine that you’re here with me

[Verse 3]
You’re not really that much different
From me
Oh I’ve got everything it seems but what I need
Oh won’t you tell me what you see when you look at me
When you look at me

[Chorus]
No Things Aren’t Always What They Seem
Things Aren’t Always What They Seem
To be and I just hope your memory’s proud of me
I might cry myself to sleep
And imagine that you’re here with me

  1. A.... M....

    Life is hard and it doesn't get easier when your a 15 year old kid who's adopted and no one understands

  2. d.... ....

    Why wasn't this in the movie???! It's so raw and vulnerable and would have connected Charlie and Kadee together even more. Even if they sung half of the song, it still should have been in the movie. I can think of a few scenes that could've have been taken out or changed to put this song in here.

  3. E.... H....

    This song describes slight few minutes of what I feel everyday of my life

  4. A.... P....

    i always cry when i hear this <33

  5. M.... R....

    Just. Crying. 😞

    M.... R....

    Just. Keep. Crying. 😞

  6. S.... B....

    This song would be perfect if they took away the "na na na" in the beginning in my opinion

  7. A.... F....

    I crying right now 💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔

  8. J.... L....

    l can relate to this because my father left when I was just a few months old.I-I never had a chance to talk to him before😭😭😭😭

    J.... L....

    Same here😢😭😟☹️

    J.... L....

    I know how u feel my dad left before I was born

  9. S.... S....

    I love the words it helps me to see everything clearer. but i dont like how the ending sounds. but over all beautiful song

  10. D.... K....

    this explains me i listen when i am going through the hardest of crap

  11. M.... K....

    There is nobody who I can trust...

  12. A.... D....

    *Inwardly sobs, just too beautiful*

    A.... D....

    Ikr I can't stop crying. :'(

  13. S.... K....

    This song really connects with me. I have both parents (and a step mom, love her) and all three are amazing, but I still "live life scared of love" like Kadee. It's hard for me to trust people, and this combined with the rest of the soundtrack really inspire me. Thanks, Rags.

  14. V.... P....

    I really like this song

  15. N.... S....

    It's so sad even because I can relate to it cause I don't have my dad

  16. M.... R....

    That's facts tho

  17. j.... d....

    i am only 12 years old and this song made me cry 
    as soon as he said ''a father's love is no such thing i've known'' i burst into tears because i haven't seen my father in like about six years he was never in my life to begin with but at least in the first 6 years he used to call and sometimes visit at least i still have my mom who tries really hard to give me what i want i just wish i could see him again 

    j.... d....

  28. L.... A....

    They did.

  29. a.... ....

    I'm so sorry :( Hope things start looking up for you<3

  30. N.... E....

    This Song Always Gets To Me Because It Reflects on My Family

  31. L.... A....

    Thank you, it's hard, but the worst part is that I'm the star witness and I saw it all happen, so the murderer keeps trying to kill me. You don't know what it's like feeling scared every single second of the day, even with a armed police bodyguard with you every second of the day. I even have special permission from school so he can sit in the classroom. It's isolating.

  32. a.... ....

    I cry and I don't even have any sort of history with the song. I'm so so sorry for you :(

  33. a.... ....

    Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry.
    If you ever feel like you need to talk I'm here, and I promise things will look up :)

  34. L.... A....

    Okay, I admit it, I cried at the 'A mother's touch is stolen way to soon' part.

  35. L.... A....

    My mum, dad, brother and cousin were all shot a week ago and now I live in a foster home with my one year old sister, and somehow this song lets me express my feelings to my dead family without talking to them.

  36. a.... ....

    I'm so glad you're auditioning! Hope all goes well! :D

  37. J.... S....

    X-Factor audition song. It's happening (:
