Things Have Changed

(album: Sunny Days - 2019)

Innocence gets lost in chaos
Drawn to flames that light the way, oh
A broken heart made me a woman
I'm not the same little girl
Since you've been gone

Because things have changed
Since you've been away
Grew through the pain
But love stayed the same
I have changed
Since you've been away
Grew through the pain
But love stayed the same

I got 13 years on her 13th birthday
Tears drops hit the courtroom floor
Courtroom door slammed hard
And I felt empty gotta search for me
Five years till I can make parole
And time moves slow when you missing home
In prison clothes I sit alone
But my rock bottoms, my stepping stone
My princesses, they need a king
I gotta stand up to deserve the throne
Do better be a better man
So they can have a chance to that happy home
Try to raise the kids in this visit room
Keep wiping tears from they cheekbone
I said it'd be alright but it won't be
Cuz I changed me, I gotta be strong
I try to see myself through my children's eyes
It's who I am, who I wanna be
They said it's jail talk, and I'll be in the streets
I'll never change my ways, I guess we're gonna see
See the hardest thing that I've been through
Watching what my family had to go through
'Cause my goto was try something new
'Cause that old me is just old news

Things have changed
Since you've been away
Grew through the pain
But love stayed the same
I have changed
Since you've been away
Grew through the pain
But love stayed the same

And time has told me always take your time
Daddy I know you worry but please ease your mind
Guess we went through so much, made it through the other side
What don't kill you makes you stronger, and we're so alive
'Cause

Things have changed
Since you've been away
Grew through the pain
But love stayed the same
I have changed
Since you've been away
Grew through the pain
But love stayed the same
