HI GUYS:
Sorry about the delayed post -- May was kind of a crazy month. To make it up to you guys, I'll be trying to release more this month!
The message of this song is kind of ambiguous. It's all at once regretful and grateful and still slightly paradoxical in its sentiments. The speaker wants to change but also still hold on to past memories. It's like recognizing that something is over but still wanting to enjoy the good moments. IDK. Good song.
**if you want to use my lyrics, go ahead! no need to ask. all that I require is that you credit & link back to my channel :)
LYRICS:
Nothing ever stays the same
The smell of your hair
Or how we stumbled when we learned to dance so long ago
Though all those times are deep inside my memory
They’ve fallen silent, never to be heard again
Was there ever any time when I could hold it in
Or hide my pain behind a smile like it meant nothing?
When I was small, most everyone who knew me agreed
And said I was a crybaby
“It’s a secret, so don’t say a word!”
Isn’t that the cruelest thing that you’ve ever heard?
Now all my screaming is being drowned out!
The future that we thought was awaiting us seems like it’s so far away!
Oh, I don’t have to ask; I already know
No matter what I say or do you’ll never understand!
Where should I run if I have nowhere to go?
I have no clue, so I continue clinging to the past
Cause every little worry is soon forgotten when I allow myself
To be encouraged by this small desire
“I want to change”
All the things I have to change are for another day
I push them off as if there’s nothing wrong with waiting
I must protect all that connected you and me
I can’t just let it fade from memory
If I did my best to keep it in
I could still pretend like nothing ever happened
But don’t you know how much you meant to me?
Even if I try to forget you and me, it won’t be e-easy!
So when the night is overcome by the dawn
I must put on my strongest face and act like nothing’s wrong
Because I know that there is no other way
I never thought that I could hold it in, oh, how I’ve changed!
And every boring moment is soon forgotten because I kno-ow that
You’re deep inside my heart, and that won’t change!
Back when I was younger, I didn’t know better
If I could go back, I would do it all over
Don’t you think that it’s all so easily broken?
I was scared we’d break so I tried to deny it
I was never sure if I was doing the right thing
I was so ashamed and confused and frightened
Now that I am wiser, I’m starting over
I want to believe in a new beginning!
Oh, I don’t have to ask; I already know
You’re not the answer that I needed to find happiness!
But what you left behind has taught me where I should go
Though you’re no longer with me, it wasn’t meaningless!
Cause every little worry is covered up by the sweetness of that lie
This feeling of joy won’t go away!
“I want to change”
