I went away for the weekend

I sat back and started thinking

And when it came to mind

I began to smile 'cause it's so true, it's so true

Things never stay the way I want them to be

When I was younger, back then it was simplicity

People care too much, but like the seasons

It all has changed, I wish it wouldn't be that way

Can't bring back what used to be, life don't stay the same

Thinking 'bout what used to be

Everything changes (Life always changes)

Everything changes, changes

There was a time when I gave up on people

Disappointment led me to just be alone

Then one day I was told to just stand on my own

And it's so true, it's so true

Just forgive, no regrets, go on and live and forget it

You can't go back again, learn to live in the present

Learn from your mistakes, like the seasons it all has changed

Oh, everything must change

Can't bring back what used to be, life don't stay the same

Thinking 'bout what used to be

Everything changes (Life always changes)

Everything changes, changes

Oh, it's time to heal, time to love

Time to let go and time to move on

It's alright to laugh, it's alright to cry

It's alright to be and choose life

Everything changes

Can't bring back what used to be, life don't stay the same

Thinking 'bout what used to be

Everything changes (Life always changes)

Everything changes, changes

Can't bring back what used to be, life don't stay the same

Thinking 'bout what used to be

Everything changes (Life always changes)

Everything changes, changes

Can't bring back what used to be, life don't stay the same

Thinking 'bout what used to be

Everything changes (Life always changes)

Everything changes, changes
