So you say it's hard to watch people change, But it's not really. It hurts to see someone grow apart from you But you're changing too. What hurts isn't to see someone you know Become someone you knew It's worse to accept You can't know if what someone used to be Is what they remember too. To hold a memory close to your heart Is different than seeing a memory ripped apart. You say it's too hard to get over the past... But it's not really. It's much worse to realize The past really doesn't last.

The Past Doesn't Last
So you say it's hard to watch people change, But it's not really. It hurts to see someone grow apart from you But you're changing too. What hurts isn't to see someone you know Become someone you knew It's worse to accept You can't know if what someone used to be Is what they remember too. To hold a memory close to your heart Is different than seeing a memory ripped apart. You say it's too hard to get over the past... But it's not really. It's much worse to realize The past really doesn't last.
