You can forget everything I told you

I didn't mean to lie -

I didn't know what it meant

I can't disown you

I tried time and time again

Talking real slow, cause I don't know if you want this

Caught up in the middle of my tiny little conscience

Tying to conceal, but my feelings are showing

Get a little shy, cause I don't know where it's going

I'm glowing

You're throwing me for a loop

Tip-toeing and closing in on the truth

Now time’s up - you gotta go

I'll keep pretending I think you don't know

Everything changes when you don't take care of it

It’s like I always told you

I wasn't trying to hide

You just never know the time or the placement for the polygraph

It's just shattering glass from the frame from when you left

Democracy is dead, but you're putting me on trial

I'm living on my own, while you're living in denial

The mockery of meaning in my solitary confinement?

I meant what I was sharing

Blaring voices in my head

Glaring glances that you’ve sent

Resentment in my direction

But I don't deserve this inspection

Everything changes when you don't take care of it

So now I'm calling out the truth, you're calling me a liar

Rolling out the cues for you to conspire –

Twisted little series, just to get my wishes

Say it like it is, you're saying it's fictitious

All of our encounters, a free for all

Serving the hope for our long haul

Remember when we used to be optimistic?

I wanted it back but you're too altruistic

Everything changes when you don't take care of it

Everything changes when you don't change with it
