Innocence gets lost in chaos
Draw to flames that light the way, oh
A broken heart made me a woman
I´m not the same little girl
Since you´ve been gone

Because things have changed
Since you´ve been away
Grew through the pain
But love stayed the same
I have changed
Since you´ve been away
Grew through the pain
But love stayed the same

I got 13 years on my 30 birthday
Tears drops hit the courtroom floor
Courtroom door slammed hard
And I [?] gotta search for me
Five years till I can make parole
And time moves slow when you missin´ home
In prison clothes I sit alone
But my rock bottoms, my steppin´ stone

My princesses, they need a king
I gotta stand up to deserve the throne
[?] better be a better man
So they can have a chance to that happy home
Try to raise the kids in this visit room
Keep wipin´ tears from they cheekbone
I said it´d be alright but it won´t be
[?] changed me, I gotta be strong
I try to see myself through my children´s eyes
It´s who I am, who I wanna be
They said it´s jail talk, and I´ll be in the streets
I´ll never change my ways, I guess we´re gonna see
See the hardest thing that I´ve been through
Watching what my family had to go through
´Cause my goto was try somethin´ new
´Cause that old me is just old news

Things have changed
Since you´ve been away
Grew through the pain
But love stayed the same
I have changed
Since you´ve been away
Grew through the pain
But love stayed the same

God had told me always take your time
Daddy I know you worry but please ease your mind
Guess we went through so much, made it through the other side
What don´t kill you makes you stronger, and we´re so alive

Things have changed

Since you´ve been away
Grew through the pain
But love stayed the same
I have changed
Since you´ve been away
Grew through the pain
But love stayed the same
