Nothing Ever Changes
Sody Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You're a monster when you drink
Nobody has the guts to tell you
That you're a monster when you drink
And now I'm picking up the pieces
It's not a complicated question
You either care or you don't
You take so long to answer
Don't think you even know

I'm saying all the things I've wanted to say
You don't have the money to pay
For what you did to me
For what you did to me

I just wanted you to say something, anything at all
To put my mind at ease
That you're a good man after all
But nothing ever changes
You don't even wanna talk
Maybe it's a good thing you won't see me anymore
I'm leaving this forever
I've gone to pack my things
Do you remember that I'm only 18?
But nothing ever changes
You don't even wanna talk
Maybe it's a good thing you won't see me anymore

You're so selfish when you're sober
It's always about you
And even though it's all over
You keep hiding from the truth

I'm saying all the things I've wanted to say
You don't have the money to pay
For what you did to me
For what you did to me

I just wanted you to say something, anything at all
To put my mind my mind at ease
That you're a good man after all
But nothing ever changes
You don't even wanna talk
And maybe it's a good thing you won't see me anymore
I'm leaving this forever
I've gone to pack my things
Do you remember that I'm only 18?
But nothing ever changes
You don't even wanna talk
And maybe it's a good thing you won't see me anymore

You can't buy love or laughter or happiness
You can't buy love or laughter or happiness
No, you can't buy love or laughter or happiness
No, you can't buy love or laughter or happiness

You can't buy my love, my laughter, my happiness
You can't buy my love, my laughter, my happiness
You can't buy my love, my laughter, my happiness
You can't buy love





You're a monster when you drink
And now I'm picking up the pieces

You're a monster when you drink
Nobody has the guts to tell you
That you're a monster when you drink
And now I'm picking up the pieces
It's not a complicated question
You either care or you don't
You take so long to answer
Don't think you even know
I'm saying all the things I've wanted to say
Don't have the money to pay
The way you did to me
For what you did to me
I just wanted you to say something
Anything at all
To put my mind at ease
That you're a good man off the road
But nothing ever changes
You don't even wanna talk
Maybe it's a good thing you won't see me anymore
I'm leaving this forever
I've gone to pack my things
Do you remember that I'm only 18?
But nothing ever changes
You don't even wanna talk
Maybe it's a good thing you won't see me anymore
You're so selfish when you're sober
It's always about you
And even though it's all over
Keep hiding from the truth
I'm saying all the things I've wanted to say
You don't have the money to pay
For what you did to me
For what you did to me
I just wanted you to say something
Anything at all
To mind my mind at ease
That you're a good man off the road
But nothing ever changes
You don't even wanna talk
And maybe it's a good thing you won't see me anymore
I'm leaving this forever
I've gone to pack my things
Do you remember that I'm only 18?
But nothing ever changes
You don't even wanna talk
And maybe it's a good thing you won't see me anymore
You come by love
Or laughter or happiness

@malinengstrom3436

This song i can def relate to. A dad who drank all his life neglecting us. And when he died from his addiction that was the moment i finally got closure and i kind of forgave him...
