Since You Stayed Here

You'd never recognize the room.

The pictures all have different frames now.

And all the chairs are rearranged now.

Somehow, I've thrown out every souvenir.

Yes, there've been changes made

since you stayed here.

You'd never recognize the street.

The neighbor's kids play different games now.

The colors in the trees have changed now.

Strange how I've hardly thought of you this year.

Yes, there've been changes made since you stayed here.

The same address, the more or less.

More happens, less matters, I guess.

You'd never recognize my life.

The party-givers know my name now.

And when I cry it's not the same now.

Somehow, I never waste a single tear.

Yes, there've been changes made

since you stayed here.
