You used to love a lot of things   You used to love talking   This you never told me about   If it's what your eyes were saying   I already figured it out   I could just tell it was bad   I couldn't tell how bad   You never took off your shades   And you stayed like that for days   I guess your pain never weakened   Your cool blood started burning   Scorching most of us in the flames   But there are things you can't change   There are things you can't change   You called that the curse of a human's life   That you couldn't change   Said you'd never be old enough   Or young enough   Tall enough   Or thin enough   Or smart enough   Or brave enough   Rich enough   Pretty enough   Strong enough   Good enough   Well you were to us   You wanted silence by itself   Just the word   You wanted peace by itself   Just to learn   There were things you couldn't change   You got the dull pounding rain   You got the last car in the long desert train   You almost made it   You almost made it again
