a whispered town
so many moved on
anywhere but here
sickening sweet
getting it for free

your hand betrays
the words that you say
but now i know
i could never make you choose

these goodbyes, no more lies
i don't want to leave you at all
let me be, so i can see all these things for myself
watch me go, sometimes when you win, you lose

the more things change, the more they stay the same

throwing your life away
they'll teach you how to just forget me
promise me you'll stay here
crying in my sleep, dying in my dreams

this is not choice
its circumstance
writing all night
when there's no chance
that's just what i need

the more things change, the more they stay the same
