Rob Gable Poet Lyric

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
