Things Have Changed

Innocence gets lost in chaos Drawn to flames that light the way home A broken heart made me a woman I'm not the same little girl since you been gone Beause things have changed since you been away Grew through the pain but love stayed the same I have changed since you been away Grew through the pain but love stayed the same Got thirteen years on my thirteenth birthday Teardrops hit the court room floor court room door slammed hard Felt empty gotta search for more five years 'til i can make parole 'N time moves slow when your missin' home In prison clothes I sit alone but my rock bottoms my steppin' stone My princesses they need a king I gotta stand up to deserve the throne do better be a better man So they can have a chance at that happy home Tryin' to raise the kids in this visit Room keep wipin' tears from they cheekbone Said it'd be alright but it won't be Unless i change me I gotta be strong I try to see myself through my children's eyes It's who I am who I wanna be They said it's jail talk 'n i'll be in the Streets i'll never change my ways i guess we're gonna see See the hardest thing that I've been Through watching what my family had to go through 'Cuz my go to was to try somethin' new 'Cuz that old me is just old news Things have changed since you been away Grew through the pain but love stayed the same I have changed since you been away Grew through the pain but love stayed the same Time has taught me always take your time Daddy I know you worry but please ease your mind Yes we been through so much made it through the other side What don't kill you makes you stronger and we're so alive Things have changed since you've been away Grew through the pain but love stayed the same I have changed since you been away Grew through the pain but love stayed the same
