Change For You


The year is new but the game is old / Same story starting and getting retold / And nobody cares if their words are gold / They just keep pretending that the worlds not cold / And everybody wishes they were someone they aren't / And everybody says they want to get a new start /  But if a new you is what you wanted to be / You wouldn't have to wait for earths 360- five / So go on being who you are / Odds are that you'll never be a star / But you'll be you and that should be good enough // Nothing's changed now that the year is new / If you really want to change then do it for you / Don't feel like a different number means a different fate / It's a circle there is no starting line you go until die / So just keep running
