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.

Oh, people can change

Ooh, ooh...

And people can change

From the deepest cuts to the smallest things

And people can change

From the color of a shirt to a father's sins

And people can change

From the deepest cuts to the smallest things

Oh, and people can change

From the color of a shirt to a father's sins.

Ooh, ooh...

People can change

People can change.
