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 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 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
