Everything Changes

It was so beautiful
Remember how in love we were?
So in love, so in love, once
So in love, once

She was a young girl, I was a young man
And I knew they would get her when I let go her hand
And then I let go the inevitable
So beautiful and susceptible

So wonderful and so innocent
And after this neither one of us would benefit
Yeah, I was a dropout, she was a graduate
She said Ill never be nothing, she wasnt having it

Yeah, I tried to break her down, I tried to reason it
She said I wasnt nobody to be believing in
Yeah, what a waste of time, what a waste of mind
Your place of mind was a part of the design

Yeah, I used to call her up, she never called back
Then when she called that said I wasnt all that
Yeah, I know that times change and people change too
I was a fool just to think that I could change you

Everyones got stories gone about a love we once knew
So high in the beginning until the world cuts through
And then everything changes, nothing feels the same
Piece by piece it falls apart until all thats left is blame

And if I had a chance to do it all over
Id do it exactly the same

I was a b-boy, she was a good girl
Turned hot girl, had to be a hood girl
Never did she notice she would end up in a shook world
I was like, look girl, its all in the book

Yeah, I used to tell her jokes, I used to make her laugh
And if I had a whole dollar I would give her half
So delicate and so intelligent
And then she trying to play me out just for the hell of it

Back when she was 19 not even 21
Used to do a thing getting somebody anyone
Thought that she was naive or was it really me
I do believe she was the one that was fulfilling me

So we broke up at a barbecue
I drove home thinking never will I bother you
Yeah, I just didnt know what it was hidden for
She had me sitting low but she was bullshitting, though

Everyones got stories gone about a love we once knew
So high in the beginning until the world cuts through
Everything changes, nothing feels the same
Piece by piece it falls apart until all thats left is blame

So I just kept rhyming, I caught her eye again
Next thing you know, she was hollering, lets try again
But I wasnt buying in, didnt want to lie again
Love was in the frying pan, baby, its done

But she started hanging out and started being seen
Seeing things different, said she wasnt being mean
Yeah, if I let her in then I let her win
But Im a veteran, whats better than a friend

Maybe she was an angel but shes in disguise
And I just didnt see the God-light in her eyes
Or maybe I should I walk away and cut the ties
Stay on the rise, leave love left where love dies

We were youngsters but were older now
You know the world is a little more colder now
And Im just trying to get it all off my shoulder now
Baby, you can hold it down, Ill see you in the wind

Everyones got stories gone about a love we once knew
So high in the beginning until the world cuts through
And then everything changes, nothing feels the same
Piece by piece it falls apart until all thats left is blame

Thats right, baby, next life time
Yeah, aint that what they say?
Check it out, love dont hate
I got love for you, always
