Everything is better when you learn
From the mistakes that you’ve made
But I’m afraid of change,
And nothing ever stays the same
Time will forever be,
One that makes a fool of me,
Leaves me crying in the rain
Maybe it was a fall from grace
I didn’t think it’d last this long
Did I ever tell the truth
Or was I just wrapped up in the song
But I’m gonna learn to love it
Maybe enough to stay
Not like it would change anything
Too little and a little too late
Everything is better when you learn
From the mistakes that you’ve made
But I’m afraid of change,
And nothing ever stays the same
Time will forever be,
One that makes a fool of me,
Leaves me crying in the rain
Aren’t you tired of putting on
Such a strong face
Biding time until you find your break
From the chances you take,
To the things that you say,
All of the heartache and the pain
When you could just be yourself
Everything is better when you learn
From the mistakes that you’ve made
But I’m afraid of change,
And nothing ever stays the same
Time will forever be,
One that makes a fool of me,
Leaves me crying in the rain
Rewrite the words,
Make the song a little more sad
Everything is better when I learn
From the mistakes that I’ve made
But I’m afraid of change,
And nothing ever stays the same
Time will forever be,
One that makes a fool of me,
Leaves me crying in the rain
If we all give a little
From the little that we have
If we all give a little
Maybe it won’t hurt so bad
