Lately
Lately when I tell a joke to a friend, they take it the wrong way.
It is because of what I say?
Lately I feel like my friend isn't really my friend
But isn't a friend suppose to be a friend to the end
Lately it seems that everything I say is misunderstood
I can change what I say, I really could
Lately the people who I care about are pulling away from me
Is it because I've changed how I use to be?
Lately I have tried to be someone who I can come to love
Trying to become the person my children can be proud of
Lately I've been thinking that maybe this change isn't so right
I thought change would change my actions that were once so trite
