Accept the Change

[Verse 1]
White knuckles on the past
Every mirror shows me last year’s face
Old ghosts in a new town
Same chains
Just a different place
Burned bridges in my rearview
Still I’m begging them to stay
Every “always” that I swore
Turns to rust
Flakes away
[Chorus]
To move on in life you have to accept change
Let it break your bones
Rearrange
Every scar
Every cut
Every old mistake
Yeah
To move on in life you have to accept change
Let it flood your lungs like a tidal wave
Learn to breathe in the break
(accept the change)
[Verse 2]
Got ink of what we were
Fading letters on my skin
Every promise like a prayer
That I never said again
I’ve been sleeping in the ashes
Of a fire that burned out
Either stay here in the silence
Or stand up and scream it loud
[Chorus]
To move on in life you have to accept change
Let it break your bones
Rearrange
Every scar
Every cut
Every old mistake
Yeah
To move on in life you have to accept change
Let it flood your lungs like a tidal wave
Learn to breathe in the break
(accept the change, hey!)
[Bridge]
I was built on “never”
Carved from “always stay”
But the ground keeps shifting
And the sky won’t wait
So I tear off the armor
That’s been keeping me the same
If it hurts
If it shatters
That’s the price to change my name
[Chorus]
To move on in life you have to accept change
Let it break your bones
Rearrange
Every scar
Every cut
Every old mistake
Yeah
To move on in life you have to accept change
Let it flood your lungs like a tidal wave
Learn to breathe in the break
To move on in life you have to accept change
(accept the change, accept the change)
