Things will never ever be the same again

And now that those that you loved have caused you pain

You vow never ever to fall in love again

You vow never ever to feel this pain again

You steel your heart and steeled will you remain

Things will never ever be the same again

As you grow older, the world gets a little colder

And you get a little less bolder

And prone to compromise

You think of responsibilities and family

And the deprivation that has been seen by these eyes and you shrug

Things will never ever be the same again

And you see youth corrupted,

And you see your pride destructed,

And the captain sells the cause

for a few pieces of gold

You can act all hurt and indignant

And angered, but weren’t you told?

This is how it is round here

The more things remain the same, for me,

Things will never ever be the same again
