[Intro]
Things Gchange
And Cpeople don't stay the Gsame
It's Call just one big Ggame
Until I Drealized
[Verse 1]
She was the Gone
Who Cstood there by my Gside
God Cknows that woman Gtried
To make me Dbetter
[Verse 2]
But I let here Gdown
And the Cfight was never Gfair
I Ctook more than my Gshare
And kept on Dtakin'
[Verse 3]
White Emnoise
Like the Cpeaceful highway Ghome
I grew Cnumb to the Gsound
Of her heart Dbreakin'
[Chorus]
Things Gchange
And Cpeople don't stay the Gsame
It's Call just one big Ggame
Until you Drealize
That you gotta put some Gskin in
Give up Ceverything you've Gknown
'Til the Cthought of bein' Galone
Don't keep you Dup at night
Things Gchange
[Verse 4]
I wasn't Gwell
My will was Canything but Gstrong
If Cthere was a wrong Gturn to take
I Dtook it
[Verse 5]
'Til all that was Gleft
Was a Cshell of who I Gwas
CBurned out on Glove
Broke down and Dbitter
[Verse 6]
She pulled me Emout
My sCacred siren Gsong
CShe came alone
To Gspark the dyin' emDbers
[Chorus]
Things Gchange
And Cpeople don't stay the Gsame
It's Call just one big Ggame
Until you Drealize
That you gotta put some Gskin in
Give up Ceverything you've Gknown
'CTil the thought of bein' Galone
Don't keep you Dup at night
Things Gchange
