People Say
Words and music by Robin James
People said, that people change
And nothing ever stays the same
And people said that we would not last
That we’d fall to pieces like broken glass
People said that you would leave
Tear me apart, that’s the way it would be
And people said that I was just your fun
That you’d go away, and find another one
Chorus:
But the pieces are still falling
And people are calling
With words of “I told you so”
Echoing through my phone
I should’ve listened to what they had to say
And avoided this day
People say that time heals all wounds
And that my heart is just a little bruised
And people say that it’s been awhile
That I should wipe my tears and smile
Chorus:
“But the pieces are still falling…”
