nothin's gonna change the way...
Justin Townes-Earle Lyrics

It's a shame baby
The situation is regrettable.

Nothing that you could do
There is nothing that can be done to change the current situation.

Things change babe
The situation has changed.

Such as my feelings for you
The singer's feelings toward the listener have changed.

Just look foolish when you put me out
The listener will look foolish for rejecting the singer.

Is nothing gonna change then if you feel about me now
The listener's feelings toward the singer will not change.

You lay down the sleep the morning
The listener will go to bed alone.

When you wake up alone
The listener will wake up alone.

And you still smell my
The listener will still smell the singer's scent.

So drink up baby try to push me out
The listener is trying to forget the singer by drinking.

Nothing's gonna change about the way you feel me out
The listener's feelings toward the singer will not change.

I know it's wrong I forgot to admit
The singer is admitting fault for past actions.

I shouldn't have said
The singer regrets something they said.

I never love you, I never love you
The singer admits to never having loved the listener.

I never love, never love, never love
The singer still does not love the listener.

So today turn to weeks count to forget
The listener will try to forget about the singer over time.

Broken heart you thought you'll always be
The listener thought their heart would always be broken.

So pack up baby tryin' put me out
The listener is trying to forget the singer by packing up their things.

Nothing's gonna change the way you feel about me now
The listener's feelings toward the singer will not change.
