I’m sitting here watching my life fly by before my eyes.
And I watch them living theirs as I fake a smile for you.
I’m rotting away cause of a fear that ain’t mine.
I’m trapped cause I’m wrong in all I say and all I do.

But nothing changes if nothing changes,
And I’ve changed for the best.
Nothing changes if nothing changes.
It’s up to you to do the rest.

Now I know that I ain’t trusted ‘round here.
I also know that home is where you’re happy; where your heart is.
Cause in this broken home, we live our lives in fear.
Yeah, but I’m not willing to be a part of it no more.

So I’m stuck in one place and it’s all because of you.
You’re too afraid to trust, too afraid to move out of this place that’s bringing you down.
You’re concerned about your image. Not about your life.
You’re afraid to be wrong. You only care that you’re right, and look where that’s gotten you.

But nothing changes if nothing changes,
And I’ve changed for the best.
Nothing changes if nothing changes.
It’s up to you to do the rest.
Lyrics to one of my original songs!
