Same Things Anymore

I’m not the same boy that you used to know
I used to feel sorry you refused to grow
I realized that I’m just in a different place
On our separate journeys running in a different race
The person I was, I’ve out-grown that version
Quit taking me back
We’re cruising down memory lane but it’s fading to black
I desperately just wanna show you
All my new dreams, the new me
But sometimes
I feel like you just never really knew me

You say I’vе changed up
I guess I’ve changеd huh
Cause I don’t laugh at the same things anymore
I took no days off
Then took a day job
Cause I don’t clap at the same things anymore
You live in the past
I’m not even mad
Cause I don’t brag at the same things anymore
The same things anymore

We’re the same but I’m different
You knew that
I’d rather swing and miss
Than to do jack
These are the true facts
I get these dancers swinging like it’s new jack
I gave you many chances but you blew that
What more can I do
If you don’t listen to reason
And you don’t listen to logic
And just believe we’re out to get you
Sounds like you’re the real problem
Sad to say it
But I gotta move on
So much growth ahead of me
There’s no room for weeds in this garden
Can’t believe it took me this long to set the boundaries
Just to love myself
We air out the dirty laundry
Got the doubters second guessing
At the edge of their seats
Your approval doesn’t have the same
Control over me
Peace

You say I’ve changed up
I guess I’ve changed huh
Cause I don’t laugh at the same things anymore
I took no days off
Then took a day job
Cause I don’t clap at the same things anymore
You live in the past
I’m not even mad
Cause I don’t brag at the same things anymore
The same things anymore

The truth is what you get away with
Tell yourself: it’s just a matter of how you frame it
The truth is what you get away with
Dress it up enough, now you got a painting
The truth is what you get away with
Deceive enough people now your words are blameless
The truth is what you get away with
Sell it to the masses now your boy is famous

You say I’ve changed up
I guess I’ve changed huh
Cause I don’t laugh at the same things anymore
I took no days off
Then took a day job
Cause I don’t clap at the same things anymore
You live in the past
I’m not even mad
Cause I don’t brag at the same things anymore
The same things anymore
