I went away for the weekend
I sat back and started thinking
And when it came to mind
I began to smile 'cause it's so true, it's so true

Things never stay the way I want them to be
When I was younger back then it was simplicity
People care too much but like the seasons
It all has changed, I wish it wouldn't be that way

Can't bring back what used to be, life don't stay the same
Thinking 'bout what used to be
Everything changes, life always changes
Everything changes, changes

There was a time when I gave up on people
Disappointment led me to just be alone
Then one day I was told to just stand on my own
And it's so true, it's so true

Just forgive no regrets, go on and live and forget it
You can't go back again, learn to live in the present
Learn from your mistakes, like the seasons it all has changed
Oh, everything must change

Can't bring back what used to be, life don't stay the same
Thinking 'bout what used to be
Everything changes, life always changes
Everything changes, changes

Oh, it's time to heal, time to love
Time to let go and time to move on
It's alright to laugh, it's alright to cry
It's alright to be and choose life
Everything changes

Can't bring back what used to be, life don't stay the same
Thinking 'bout what used to be
Everything changes, life always changes
Everything changes, changes

Can't bring back what used to be, life don't stay the same
Thinking 'bout what used to be
Everything changes, life always changes
Everything changes, changes

Can't bring back what used to be, life don't stay the same
Thinking 'bout what used to be
Everything changes, life always changes
Everything changes, changes
