Changing Me

Second chances don't matter
when people choose not to change.
The truth hides in their eyes,
but it's constantly rearranged.

It's hanging on their tongues,
it's lying on their backs.
The burden they choose to carry
will bring about the courage they lack.

You've tried so hard,
but you have failed to change me.
Keep your eyes open for now
and maybe you'll find the key.

But for now stay in your corner
and continue to slip through the cracks.
But when you turn your back to me,
remember there's no turning back.
