People don't change, they just learn to pretend
They're in love with the same person they are in the end
What I know now, I wish I knew back then
Because people don't change, they just learn to pretend

I'm in love, the idea of us
Not who we are but what we could be
I can show myself for once
Who are you? Show yourself to me

If you're hiding how am I supposed to see
Who you are and who you want to be

People don't change, they just learn to pretend
They're in love with the same person they are in the end
What I know now, I wish I knew back then
Because people don't change, they just learn to pretend

I'm in need of a selfish time
To find you out, to get it right
My concerns keep me up at night
It's not my place, it's not my fight

If you're losing your faith it's not in me
You can find it if you still believe

People don't change, they just learn to pretend
They're in love with the same person they are in the end
What I know now, I wish I knew back then
Because people don't change, they just learn to pretend

I'm in love, that's close enough
To where I am and where I should be

People don't change, they just accept defeat
Could you come into my room and defeat me please?
Because I'm trying my best and I might do some good
But people don't change like you wish they would
