People Can Change

If you can just forgive me
All the things I said and did
I’ll be good at forgetting
How you hurt me way back when

Let’s not try to make excuses
Let’s just say hello again
And find some way
Of letting water back under the bridge

People can change
From the deepest cuts to the smallest things
People can change
From the color of a shirt to a father’s sins
The truth is that I can’t go back
Erase the hurt, undo the past
Until their last breath
People can change
Oh

It’s a lot that we’re here talking
But you know we shouldn’t stay too long
Just enough to know the difference
To smile and say that we’ve moved on

People can change
From the deepest cuts to the smallest things
People can change
From the color of a shirt to a father’s sins
The truth is that I can’t go back
Erase the hurt, undo the past
Until their last breath
People can change
