Things Change - Civilian

One foot in, one foot out

Both joining three feet up

Each hinges on your hipbones

For one can’t move without the other

Will I miss you more for what I had

Or miss you solely for the guilt of this

Putting one foot before the other

I leave you now, Lover

Because some things change

And some will never get the chance to

One would do the trick

Two would do it better

Each in separate beds

Dreaming of each other

I fought hard, hard won out

Could’ve taken more, but I stayed down

I want another you, not a better me

I’m finally saying what my tired heart is telling me

Will I miss you more for what I had

Or miss you solely for the guilt of this

Putting my heart before another’s

I leave you now, Lover

Because some things change

And some will never get the chance to

Some things change

But some will never get the chance to
