You Will Never Change

You will never change

As much as you pretend to

You will never change

After everything we have been through

You cannot have me and everybody else

I think more of myself; do you know the wealth of self?

Years of hurt, buried by continuous lies

Still after all that time, you never even try

You assume I will always be there

I did stay too long from hope, believing that you would care

Therefore, now that I am gone, you have turned a new leaf

I am proud of you; you finally want to live right

However, to take you back I would be a fool

Everybody knows a zebra does not change its stripes

In my heart you will always be

Because love never dies, once you have loved

However, look up towards the sky

Another story is being written from above

Our journey, our story is over no more hope

In distance or close range

I hope that one day you will prove me wrong when I say you will never change.
