[Verse 1]
Don't wanna run away
I led myself astray
Out of view
Try not to fall apart
But holding on is hard
It's true
Nineteen and so naive
But I still won't take, I won't take the blame
No peace inside of me
[Chorus]
Never gonna change
Always stay the same
Forcing all the blame
But it's my fault, baby
What a mess I made
Falling on my face
Where will I remain
If I'm far past saving?
Never gonna change
Always stay the same
Forcing all the blame
But it's my fault, baby
Thought that I was stuck
But I went straight backwards
[Verse 2]
I've gotta face myself
To save my mental health
But I'm not
Ready yet, I can tell
Found comfort in my shell
But I've got
To break free
From disdain surrounding me
I truly think that things will never change
How come I can't see
The havoc tethered to me?
Can't hold back now 'cause I'll never
[Chorus]
Never ever change
Always stay the same
Forcing all the blame
But it's my fault, baby
What a mess I made
Falling on my face
Where will I remain
If I'm far past saving?
Never gonna change
Always stay the same
Forcing all the blame
But it's my fault, baby
Thought that I was stuck
But I went straight backwards
[Bridge]
I know that it's me
I'm guilty I'm guilty
And maybe I'll be set free
But I gotta get out now
Or I won't find the answer
Baby, yeah
Baby, yeah, yeah-yeah
[Chorus]
Never gonna change
Always stay the same
Forcing all the blame
But it's my fault, baby
What a mess I made
Falling on my face
Where will I remain
If I'm far past saving?
Never gonna change
Always stay the same
Forcing all the blame
But it's my fault, baby
Thought that I was stuck
But I went straight backwards

We’re in the stage in life where you start to notice that you always go back to your bad habits, no matter how hard you try, and it can get really discouraging. “Never Gonna Change” is about holding yourself accountable and not letting yourself put the blame on anyone else.
