Everything Changes

Every so often I'll be posting lyrics that really get to me.  Like they might have been written just for me.  Ever feel like that?  Today's choice is Everything Changes, by Staind.  This is one of several beautifully written songs by this band.  This is one of those songs that is kind of part of me, especially.  I suppose, music is my therapy. I heard it in Fred Meyer of all places the other day... so random, and I've been thinking about sharing it ever since.  I've posted the link to the acoustic version of the song on my Facebook.  
It seems appropriate to post the lyrics to songs that are "part of me" - because I truly believe it's the only way to really get to know me.  I love all genres from Classical to Christian to Metal.  I think it's in my DNA.  I play the piano.  I write my own songs and lyrics too.  Maybe when I get a little braver, I'll share those too.     
I hope you find comfort in these or other lyrics I may post in the future.  At times, it might be just one line of a song that changes you.  Other times, it's the entire thing, instruments and all. 
For me, music can draw my true feelings out and help me deal with emotions I might be feeling, whether good or bad.  Try it.  Let your true feelings surface and see what happens.  You will be better for it.


Everything Changes


If you just walked away
What could I really say?
Would it matter anyway?
Would it change how you feel?

I am the mess you chose
The closet you cannot close
The devil in you, i suppose
'Cause the wounds never heal

But everything changes
If I could
Turn back the years
If you could
Learn to forgive me
Then I could learn to feel

Sometimes the things I say
In moments of disarray
Succumbing to the games we play
To make sure that it's real

But everything changes
If I could
Turn back the years
If you could
Learn to forgive me
Then I could learn to feel

When it's just me and you
Who knows what we could do
If we can just make it through
The toughest part of the day

But everything changes
If I could
Turn back the years
If you could
Learn to forgive me
Then I could
Learn how to feel
Then we could
Stay here together
And we could
Conquer the world
If we could
Say that forever
Is more than just a word

If you just walked away
What could I really say?
And would it matter anyway?
It wouldn't change how you feel
