this is why I begged
"don't ever change"
because the love stops
because I can't hold your hand
and if I thought I wanted to
I can't ever kiss you again
because you didn't heed my cries
"don't ever change"
you thought you'd always feel the same
I believed we'd never be apart
that this thing we found
could never be lost
it was very very lost
the words I spoke being drowned in the riptide
"don't ever change"
I meant it
every time I said it
every time you brushed it away as impossible
I meant it
"don't ever change"
because I knew we'd never be the same
once you changed
and deep in my heart
I have never changed
I've never lost a part of me
a piece of my heart still belongs to my first love
while my heart is still entirely yours
I can do it
why couldn't you?
why couldn't you keep loving me?
why couldn't the bliss we felt continue?
because you changed
and maybe love isn't all you need
you say monotony like it's a bad thing
