some people say people don't change
some say it's all that we do
yesterday I had sided with the latter
but today the former is true
I can't shake the feeling that I've only done wrong
and it's all I know how to do
I can't seem to do it, though it's all that I want
to want to be close to you
fake it for a while, sometimes it feels real
but I just can't trust the way that I feel
too beat down and broken to accept your love
and I just can't place what it is I dream of
I want to be special and needed and good
through all my empty endeavors
try to sit still, to laugh and smile
and happily discuss the weather
a wild existence is looked down upon
so I'll take my heartache and put it in song
boil down my passions to neat little doses
carried in a satchel next to my neuroses
some people say people don't change
some say it's all that we do
yesterday I had sided with the latter
but today the former is true
