Changes
I was born, learned how to laugh and learned how to cry
Years have passed and I’ve moved on from that place
And I can’t go back there, no matter how hard I try
Changes, everything changes…even time and space
Having learned my first steps, I couldn’t wait for school
Collecting knowledge and experience along the way
At sixteen I “knew’ it all and yet I was still just a fool
Changes, everything changes…even this might one day
School was yesterday and today is work from eight to five
Thinking about now is gone, now I have to think ahead
Economics, my family and what do I do with my life
Changes, everything changes…even the ones I dread
Some changes will be good and a lot may seem to be bad
Nothing around here is the same since the day I met you
Is it good, is it bad or will I always treasure what we had
Changes, everything changes…even us and what we do
There may come a day when we will despise each other
Or we might not be able to go back to the love we shared
Would we fight it or just give up and move on to another
Changes, everything changes…even those that ones cared
If everything in my life changes, that’s the way it should be
You can change, I can change, and nothing stays this way
My body and my heart can change, but I’m taking you with me
Everything changes…even I love you more and more each day
