Nothing Changes

I don’t want to go out I don’t want to go anywhere That might serve to remind me And I don’t want to stay in I don’t want to begin to explore All the wreckage behind me now And I don’t want to stay here Let me make that clear I don’t like the bed that I’ve got to lie in And I don’t want to move on It’s been way too long To shed the skin that I’ve learned to survive in If nothing changes, nothing changes No matter where you go, there you are Torn between the man you never could be, The man you should be, and the one you are I don’t want to be you I don’t think I can do what it takes To make the truth stop stinging And I don’t want to be me I don’t think I can see my way out Of this hole I keep digging now If nothing changes, nothing changes No matter where you go, there you are Torn between the man you never could be, The man you should be, and the one you are How did I get where I am? How did it go this far? It’s not what I had planned. How do I get where you are? How did I lose control? How did I lose the spark? How do I find my way? How did it get so dark? If nothing changes, nothing changes No matter where you go or who you are Go on and run in any direction You’ll be right there waiting if you get that far
