People Change

I used to worry that love would fade
Like a magic spell that ends
Living at the mercy of a feeling that you can’t save
Something you cannot defend
And you build a life
Your paradise
You hope it lasts forever

When it falls apart
It’s such a crying shame
You can try to keep the flame
But people change

I got a box of pictures from a long time ago
It’s so hard looking at them now
We were so young, and so full of hope
We believed in our love
So we built a life
Our paradise
Hoped it’d last forever

And when it falls apart
You want someone to blame
You try and try to keep things the same
But people change

I have known people who’ve grown together hand in hand through life
The lucky ones making it better as the years go by

I’ll always wonder if I could have done
Something to stop drifting apart
It’s too late now, ‘cause the time comes
When you can’t turn back your heart
We build our lives
Our paradise
Tried to make it last forever

When it falls apart
It’s such a goddamn shame
Even when the love remains
People change
