You say that things are different now
You say that things have changed
But I don't understand
What has changed; things are still the same

I ask if you still love me
And you say forever
I ask if you still care
And you tell me that you do

So how are things different?
How have things changed?
The love is still there
My heart still cares

You tell me that you have to go
You tell me about college & dreams
You tell me you're going places
And you can't have someone holding you back

I start to cry
How could you even think that?

I would never hold you back
I would be your greatest cheerleader
I would always care
And help you when you fall

Just because we're all grown up
And college is around the bend
Things aren't different--
Things will never be different

You are different.
