Call me up to meet you
Static on the phone
Normally I need you, this time, I don't wanna go
Lately I been growing into someone you don't know
You had the chance to love her
But apparently you don't
No, you don't
So even if I could, wouldn't go back where we started
I know you're still waiting, wondering where my heart is
Pray that things won't change
But the hardest part is
You're realizing maybe I, maybe I ain't the same
And what you're waiting for ain't there no more anyway
Held you up so highly, deep under your spell
Your opinions would define me
This time I made some for myself
'Cause lately, I been certain there's no further to go
Yeah, you had the chance to love me, but apparently you won't
No, you won't
So even if I could, wouldn't go back where we started
I know you're still waiting, wondering where my heart is
Pray that things won't change
But the hardest part is
You're realizing maybe I, maybe I ain't the same
And what you're waiting for ain't there no more anyway
And it's okay, I'm not gonna remember you that way
You say I'm different now, like that's so strange
But I was only eighteen
You shoulda known that I was always gonna change
Even if I could, wouldn't go back where we started
I know you're still waiting, wondering where my heart is
Pray that things won't change
But the hardest part is
You're realizing maybe I, maybe I ain't the same
Ain't there no more, I ain't there no more
(I ain't there no more)
Ain't there no more, I ain't there no more
(I ain't there no more)
Ain't there no more
(I ain't there no more)
But the hardest part is
You're realizing maybe I, maybe I ain't the same
And what you're waiting for ain't there no more anyway
