I went away for the weekend I sat back and started thinking And when it came to mind I began to smile 'cause it's so true, it's so true Things never stay the way I want them to be When I was younger back then it was simplicity People care too much but like the seasons It all has changed, I wish it wouldn't be that way Can't bring back what used to be, life don't stay the same Thinking 'bout what used to be Everything changes, life always changes Everything changes, changes There was a time when I gave up on people Disappointment led me to just be alone Then one day I was told to just stand on my own And it's so true, it's so true Just forgive no regrets, go on and live and forget it You can't go back again, learn to live in the present Learn from your mistakes, like the seasons it all has changed Oh, everything must change Can't bring back what used to be, life don't stay the same Thinking 'bout what used to be Everything changes, life always changes Everything changes, changes Oh, it's time to heal, time to love Time to let go and time to move on It's alright to laugh, it's alright to cry It's alright to be and choose life Everything changes Can't bring back what used to be, life don't stay the same Thinking 'bout what used to be Everything changes, life always changes Everything changes, changes Can't bring back what used to be, life don't stay the same Thinking 'bout what used to be Everything changes, life always changes Everything changes, changes Can't bring back what used to be, life don't stay the same Thinking 'bout what used to be Everything changes, life always changes Everything changes, changes
