don't say I'm the same
like nothing has changed
when everything has
you want to pretend
like nothing is wrong
like everything's fine
but I can't relate to everyone that
still acts the same
I can't understand how you all so cold
choose not to care
don't say I'm the same
like nothing has changed
when everything has
I can't stand to think that I am still there
that I never changed
you don't want to hear that all you hold dear
means nothing at all
you just want to go on like everything's fine
when it never was
