Change Doesn't Always Come Easy

Change Doesn't Always Come Easy

A Poem by Travis Prino

You want to see who is in my bed

cause it's still me that is in your head

but you've killed everything in my heart

it's bitter cold and it will rip you apart

and everything I've seen

pales in comparison to what I've been through

and even though you're sitting next to me

you're just a ghost of the girl I'm used to


pretty girl don't cry for me

pretty girl don't cry

pretty girl don't die for me

pretty girl don't die

jealousy's just a frame of mind

that you have to fight to survive

and honesty's buried under lies

keep them coming if you want to get out alive


you want to dig deeper than before

but you've dug too deep now you're scraping the core

you want to peel the layers of my skin

but you cut right through this masquerade I've been

and everything we were

leaves me with a stale and bitter taste

and even though you're sitting next to me

you're just a ghost of the girl I once chased


pretty girl don't cry for me

pretty girl don't cry

pretty girl don't die for me

pretty girl don't die

jealousy's just a frame of mine

that you have to fight to survive

and honesty's buried under lies

keep them coming if you want to get out alive


change doesn't always come easy

when you're not used to being alone

and love sometimes feels more like cancer

when injected it's infecting your bones

change doesn't always come easy

when you're not used to being alone

and love sometimes feels more like cancer

when injected it's infecting your bones


pretty girl don't cry for me

pretty girl don't cry

pretty girl don't die for me

pretty girl don't die

jealousy's just a frame of mind

that you have to fight to survive

and honesty's buried under lies

keep them coming if you want to get out alive


pretty girl we're not worth saving

pretty girl our love is decaying

pretty girl it's not worth trying

cause breathing never felt so much like dying

like dying

like dying

LIKE DYING

like dying

breathing never felt so much like dying.
