How Things Change
Stefanie Heinzmann Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I know we made so many plans
We held the time in our hands
And it's so hard to let 'em all go
The promises we'll never keep
The things we bought that we won't need
Tomorrow's new
And I will never know
Things change
Yeah they do
Cause I thought that I'd always love you
And I know nothing stays the same
Yeah things change always will
You can't tell your heart how to feel
And I thought you would still be here today
But things change

I was sure and so were you
We were too strong to break in two
But here we are a thousand miles apart
Wonderin' why it has to be this way
It's not your fault
No one's to blame
What we don't feel
It's just the way we are

Things change
Yeah they do
Cause I thought that I'd always love you
And I know nothing stays the same
Yeah things change always will
You can't tell your heart how to feel
And I thought you would still be here today
But things change

Nothing's set in stone
Things will come and they will go
And that's just the way
Just the way it is

Things change
Yeah they do
Cause I thought that I'd always love you
And I know nothing stays the same
Yeah things change always will
You can't tell your heart how to feel




And I thought you would still be here today
But things change
