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
