I can't find the words to reconnect with your heart
we're always growing and I guess we grew apart
you're not the same, I guess it's meant to be that way
we promised that we'd find our love again one day
you let go willingly, I've got myself to blame
I'm not the same, I guess it's meant to be that way

did I expect that you would come back for me
did I think that somehow we were meant to be
no, not at all, not at all, not at all
we were just in love at seventeen
these tears I cry are real but they are not for you
I've learned that every heart that loves will break in two
it's the same, every love has felt this pain

you're a theif, you robbed my while I closed my eyes
I can't escape the wreckage of my heart's first fire
I'm burning still, burning still, burning still
reckless love was bound to fail
I'm not trying to shift the blame
I know I've caused my share of pain
but tonight the broken one is me
my human heart is torn, I'll replace it with a paper one
so I won't hurt anymore
yes we've changed, we're not the same
we can't expect to be that way
