Oh. Many years have come and gone
Mostly broke, standing in some welfare line
Fighting and screaming over every nickel and dime
Shaking and throwing our life around
You shut me down, you just shut me down
You don't know me, you've forgotten how
You just shut me down, throwing my life around
Wanna walk away, wanna break away
I'm still standing here, but change is on it's way
Oh. Once there was a girl in love
She had dreams, it was you and me
Eventually she discovered it just wasn't meant to be
I believed, but you became disconnected from me,
disconnected from me
Sometimes I don't know how I feel
Sometimes I look towards tomorrow and see a brand new day
And then you hit me, then you kiss me
You just don't stop.Ohh change on it's way
Your eyes wide open but you just don't see
Oh. Change is a coming, it's something brand new
Wanna stop standing, standing in circles around you
You're losing me, you're losing me
Your eyes wide open, but you just don't see
Your cruel laughter, your public humiliation
All your tough talking, all your talking down to me
I look at you and can't figure out what I see
It's just another day not knowing what I'm facing
It's just another day not knowing what's gonna be
You shut me down, you just shut me down
You don't know me, you've forgotten how
You just shut me down, throwing my life around
The children laugh, the children cry
Anger and confusion, it's seems it's all about you
Go ahead, justify and then tell my why
I wanna hear you, I wanna hear you tell me what to do
Oh. Change is a coming, it's gonna be brand new
Gonna stop standing, standing in circles around you
Gonna walk away, gonna break away, gonna live for me
Oh. She had dreams, it was you and me
Eventually she discovered it just wasn't meant to be
I believed, but you became disconnected from me,
disconnected from me
Now you've lost me, you've lost me
Many years, your eyes wide open and you just didn't see
You just didn't see.
