Nothing Ever Stays The Same

People appear in our life, and then are gone in a flash.
Seasons change, leaves fall, flowers wilt and waves crash.
So I'll just journey on and walk in shame.
Because nothing ever stays the same.

For it is you, my darling that has changed me.
You opened up my heart and allowed me to breathe.
But like everyone else, you've gone astray.
Because nothing ever stays the same.

But now your heart has turned cold.
Your smile has grown old.
Your touch has hardened.
Don't tell me you're gonna leave me broken hearted.
I could feel it coming, I knew it would happen somehow, someday.
My dear, if only the heart could be tamed.
All your love has gone away.
Because nothing ever stays the same.

The way you spoke with adoration.
How could I have been so clueless?
T'was nothing but a trap to make me seem foolish.
You said you wanted love, you wanted my last name.
But there is never true love, without any pain.
It wasn't about me anymore, it was about you.
Your ways have changed and I was being used.
Baby, you became so vain.
Because nothing ever stays the same.

Tell me, are you lying to yourself?
Have I become truly nothing?
Have all your feelings vanished?
My love, tell me what to do, there must be something?
Now I can't even have your time of day.
The love that once was, has blown away.
Because nothing ever stays the same.

Baby, please return to your home, my heart.
Please tell me that you'll never want to part.
Those are the words I want to hear.
But I never will because your heart's in fear.
My heart is broke and you're to blame.
Because nothing ever stays the same.

Say goodbye, and don't return.
I will be here year after year to yearn.
I will never move on, I cannot be forced.
I gave you my everything, just to be left and hurt.
While you laugh, I'll walk in the rain.
Because nothing ever stays the same.

You appeared in my life, and then were gone in a flash.
Seasons changed, leaves fell, flowers wilted and waves crashed.
Now I must journey on and walk in shame.
Because nothing ever stays the same.
