Everything Changes lessons here are steep
When life rearranges the destiny we seek
Everything changes hold it close in your heart
Don't let the sadness hold on to you in the dark
Everything changes with every beat of the drum
Go with the rhythm look how far we've come
Everything changes like the sun and the moon
We'll be there shinning it's coming around soon
Hold on to your hope, go forth with dignity
Let love shine through you for all the world to see
Even through changes hold on, hold on, hold on

and a lot of the time i'm frightened and a lot of the time i doubt myself
not because i don't know myself but because i do i know i haven't got much of a place in the world
no one to hold me to what i am what i have been and i'm scared
and when i saw that same fear in your eyes it made me want to love you
but it made me worry too
one of us could be an anchor
and the other a leaky boat
though i'm not sure who is which

at least we'd end up together at the bottom

If only you had loved me like you said that you did
If only you would have seen me for the person that I am
If only you would have supported me in all that I did
If only you could have been there when I needed you the most
If only you hadn’t left me and put a crack in my world
If only you hadn’t changed me to be someone I am not
If only you hadn’t called me things to make me feel so low
If only you hadn’t taken what self esteem I had
If only you could understand that I am my own girl
If only you could have let me be who I was inside
If only you hadn’t killed the love that I once held for you
If only you would realize that my love is dead and gone
If only you could let me move on to something new
If only you were now someone else could I stand to be near you

I recognize
the song you're listening to.
I can hear it
humming out of your headphones
when you're sitting
on the chair next to me.

It's the same song
you've sung to me
on our second date,
in that restaurant
near the river.

It's the exact same song.
Or was that "Jeremy"?
Does it mean anything to you?
You don't seem to remember
(and neither do I, apparently),
it's become just some random song to you.
Maybe it always has been.

It's the same song
you used to sing whenever
you were in the mood to sing it.
You've sung it,
sitting on the sidewalk,
shouting it out to the world
with your headphones still on.

You didn't care about what
people would think.
You simply sat there
and sung,
texting me about it right away
-- my curb romantic.

If it hadn't been you,
I might have been embarassed,
but I never was.
It always made me smile,
even though the people
stopped and stared at us.

I loved your little craziness.
Sometimes I miss it so much it hurts.
It hurts, so that I can't breathe.
I miss you.
I miss you.
I miss you.
(But I don't want you back.)
