It's Funny How We Change For the Ones We Love

Dont you think its funny?
The ways in which we change?
For the ones that we love?
Even if they dont love us back?

Something about them changed me,
The way I spoke,
The way I listened,
The way I responded,

I’ll shed a thousand tears for them.
Before they realise how Ive changed for them.
I was never this way at the start.

But just recently, whenever they are involved,
I can’t help but;
Act this way,
Speak this way,
Cry this way,
Smile this way,

Live this way,
Love this way.
