You were never supposed to be
A flash in the pan when we started out
It always seems to me you were gonna be
The one I'd write home about

'Til we started to unravel
All the schedules and the travel

Somebody tell me why people change
Somebody tell me why nobody stays the same
From where we started out to where we are now
It's just like night and day
Somebody tell me why people change

I never thought the fire would go out
But the ashes are proof we felt flames
You were the one beyond a shadow of a doubt
We even shared a last name

Didn't we make big deals out of nothing?
And let nothing turn into something

Somebody tell me why people change
Somebody tell me why nobody stays the same
From where we started out to where we are now
It's just like night and day
Somebody tell me why people change

Thought we made it through the winter, the summer, the fame
We don't have anything or anyone to blame

Somebody tell me why people change
Somebody tell me why nobody stays the same
Where we started out, where we are now
Just like night and day
Somebody tell me why people change
Somebody tell me why people change
Somebody tell me why people change
