It changes...
Just when you think
That you know where you stand
You've got the world in your hand
Just when you're sure
Of a dream that you planned
That's when the scenery changes
It changes...
Just when you think
That you know all the facts
You hold the whole ball of wax
You've got it made
You can start to relax
That's when your world rearranges
And changes...
Someone that you really cared about
Someone that you couldn't live without
Severs all ties...
All at once you're all alone and scared
All the happy hellos that you shared
Change to goodbyes...
Why must we pay
For hellos that we say
Pay when we sigh an adieu
Just when you're sure
And you're safe and secure
That's when it happens to you
It changes...
(spoken)
Why can't we get all the people together in the world that we really like
And just stay together forever
Someone would leave
Someone always leaves
And then we have to say goodbye
I hate goodbyes
Why must we pay
For hellos that we say
Pay when we sigh an adieu
Just when you're sure
And you're safe and secure
That's when it happens to you
It changes...
Why, oh why?
That you know where you stand
You've got the world in your hand
Just when you're sure
Of a dream that you planned
That's when the scenery changes
It changes...
Just when you think
That you know all the facts
You hold the whole ball of wax
You've got it made
You can start to relax
That's when your world rearranges
And changes...
Someone that you really cared about
Someone that you couldn't live without
Severs all ties...
All at once you're all alone and scared
All the happy hellos that you shared
Change to goodbyes...
Why must we pay
For hellos that we say
Pay when we sigh an adieu
Just when you're sure
And you're safe and secure
That's when it happens to you
It changes...
(spoken)
Why can't we get all the people together in the world that we really like
And just stay together forever

Someone always leaves

Pay when we sigh an adieu
Just when you're sure
And you're safe and secure
That's when it happens to you
It changes...
Why, oh why?
