Nothing Stays the Same
NOTHING STAYS THE SAME
I feel…the tide roll in…
As it crashes on the shore
I’ve never felt so battered before
I felt the tide roll in
I see…the tide pull away…
Like, it’s got somewhere to go
Just where it goes…I’ll never know
I see the tide pull away
Chorus
And, I know now…that sometimes,
Everything must change
And, I see now…more clearly
That nothing stays the same
All I wanted was…to find love
Maybe…start a family
Is that too much to ask?
I’ll wait another day-
get on my knees and pray
That this misery too, will pass
Your hand is on the door…
I see…it’s time to leave
Please give me another chance to breathe
Your hand is on the door
You never said goodbye…
With so much left to say,
I tried to say it anyway…
You never said goodbye
Chorus
And, I know now…that sometimes,
Everything must change
And, I see now…more clearly
That nothing stays the same
All I wanted was…to find love
Maybe…start a family
Is that too much to ask?
I’ll wait another day-
get on my knees and pray
That this misery too, will pass
I feel…the tide roll in…
As it crashes on the shore
I’ve never felt so battered before
I felt the tide roll in
I see…the tide pull away…
Like, it’s got somewhere to go
Just where it goes…I’ll never know
I see the tide pull away
Chorus repeat and fade
