When Everything Changed

Anxious eyes go dark Someone calls my name A voice from long ago Swears you look the same The same as when we slipped Letting lives get rearranged Time we wasted not caring When everything changed Memories of careless youth Uneasy laughter at the shame What it could have been What it really became Maybe we got bored From love poorly sustained Content to blame it on When everything changed The past recalls a joke The truth left for dead The glory of life Is a lie we always said Goodbye is too easy When hello leaves you cold Waiting for anything to matter As broken promises unfold Lovers remember choices That somehow went so wrong Like a dark empty dance floor Still playing the same last song Maybe we both quit When every day brought us rain Maybe we celebrated the storm When everything changed
