Lirik Lagu 'Changes' Charlie Puth, Cinta yang Berubah oleh Waktu

Lately, there's been something in the air
There's been a lot of smaller talk (Talking and talking and talk)
When we were younger, we would share our fears
Now, we're afraid of being mocked (Mockin' and mock)

I still can hear you through all of the silence
Do you need any help calling like I did?

There's been some changes
In our life, oh
I can feel the distance
Space and time
Has made everything different
Day and night, oh
Everything has changed and
I don't know why

I used to hear your voice inside my head (Inside my head)
Now I forget what it sounds like (Liking and liking and like)
And all the things we used to leave unsaid (Leave unsaid)
I wish they were said in hindsight (Sight, in hindsight)

I still can hear you through all of the silence (All the silence)
Do you need any help calling like I did? (Oh, like I did?)

There's been some changes
In our life, oh
I can feel the distance
Space and time
Has made everything different
Day and night, oh
Everything has changed and
I don't know why

Maybe that's, mmm, just the way it is
No matter how much you're missing it
Sometimes the wind blows in different
New directions and lessons are happening
Maybe that's, mmm, just the way it is
No matter how much you're missing it
No love lost, I know it's innocent
It's what you make of it

There's been some changes (Changes)
In our life, oh
I can feel the distance (Distance)
Space and time (Time)
Has made everything different (Different)
Day and night, oh
Everything has changed and (Changed)
I don't know why (Why)

There's been some changes (Changes)
In our life, oh
I can feel the distance (Distance)
Space and time (Time)
Has made everything different (Different)
Day and night, oh
Everything has changed and (Changed)
I don't know why
