Lyrical Musings of the Day: Everything Changes by Staind

Once again I was listening to my iPod when this song came on and the lyrics hit me pretty deep, and once again I reiterate how amazed I am at how well I feel I can relate to a lot of Staind's songs.  Really the major reason why they're in my top 10 favorite bands.


If you just walked away
What could I really say?
would it matter anyway?
would it change how you feel?

I am the mess you chose
the closet you can not close
The devil in you I suppose
'cuz the wounds never heal

But everything changes
if I could turn back the years
If you could learn to forgive me
then I could learn to feel

Sometimes the things I say
In moments of disarray
Succumbing to the games we play
To make sure that it's real

When it's just me and you
Who knows what we could do
If we can just make it through
through this part of the day

Then we could
Stay here together
And we could
Conquer the world
If we could
Say that forever
It's more than just a word

If you just walked away
What could I really say?
It wouldn't matter anyway.
It wouldn't change how you feel
