Let's not spill the truth
It's easier being alone
You're a shadow of the old
And I want something new
You've quit dreaming again
I can see it now clear
But I'll wake up every morning
With the big black and the blue
Let's take this for what it is
You tell me you have changed
Well we all change in our own ways
In our own pretty ways
It all comes down to this
I'm an ocean, you're the rain
The ice is melting fast
But you're not pulling down the brakes
You'll start drinking again
I can see it now clear
How you'll wake up every morning
With a new bird in your cage
Even the most peaceful town
Once was a battleground
Well we all change in our own ways
In our own pretty ways
Even in our police state
Someone dares to demonstrate
Well we all fight in our own ways
But nothing ever change
