Staind - Change Lyrics






If ever you had said to me before
That I would live this life that I am
Living now I guess it's all so strange
To feel the way I do inside but
Have so much that I could feel some
pride for in my life so why is it that
I feel like this

How do I feel? I've been here before.
I've felt this.
Retreat to a place, a place within me.
I need this. Keep it all down, bottled inside
It breaks me to torment again and
torture me like it used to.

I try and try to break away from all the hate
I'm feeling for every one of you that's ever
done me wrong. I need to justify the reasons
for the way I'm living. I guess I can't 'cause
I don't feel like I deserve it

How do I feel? I've been here before.
I've felt this.
Retreat to a place, a place within me.
I need this. Keep it all down, bottled inside
It breaks me to torment again and
torture me like it used to.

So now the waves they have subsided
And my soul is bleeding I can't take away
all the shame I feel. Forgive me.

How do I feel? I've been here before.
I've felt this.
Retreat to a place, a place within me.
I need this. Keep it all down, bottled inside
It breaks me to torment again and
torture me like it used to.

AGAIN!

  2. D.... D....

    This album is so great I don’t even remember any of there other albums

  3. D.... D....

    I can’t even explain how great this whole album is. Not one bad song

  4. w.... M....

    Was this ever performed live?

  5. E.... G....

    One of the best songs of this band👍👍

  6. J.... B....

    Aaron Lewis. Maynard James Keenan. Chad Grey. All lyricist/vocalists who inspired me in my preteen years to write and sing along with their words and knowledge of the same feelings that they too endured as I am having to and will continue until I find my true calling

  7. J.... D....

    Aaron O'Toole :D

  8. B.... A....

    Better than a reach around

  9. J.... J....

    One of the most underrated albums of all time.

    J.... J....

    Are you kidding me?

    J.... J....

    I mean other than Outside and Its Been A While it's pretty underrated

    J.... J....

    @Bryan Lenihan for me the most underrated of staind is tormented

    J.... J....

    They never play it in live

  10. J.... K....

    I’m 40, hearing this for the first time- I can relate to this. Is that weird?

    J.... K....

    Why is it werid, it's written by a gen xer too.

    J.... K....

    We all can relate to it at some point in our life I think

  11. K.... ....

    What are the lyrics during the massive bridge/breakdown part? He's definitely saying something in those growls but there's no lyrics anywhere for that part. This song is and has always been awesome lol one of their best!

  12. A.... K....

    2019 still love... <3

  13. C.... F....

    Lyrics?

    C.... F....

    [Verse 1]
    If ever you had said to me before that I would lead this life
    That I am living now I guess it's all so strange to feel the way I do inside
    And have so much that I could feel some pride for in my life
    So why is it that I feel like this

    [Chorus]
    How do I feel? I've been here before, I've felt this
    Retreat to a place, a place within me, I need this
    Keep it all down, bottled inside, it breaks me
    To torment again and torture me like it used to

    [Verse 2]
    I try and try to break away from all the hate I'm feeling
    For everyone of you that's ever done me wrong
    I need to justify the reasons for the way I'm living
    I guess I can't 'cause I don't feel like I deserve

    [Chorus]
    How do I feel? I've been here before, I've felt this
    Retreat to a place, a place within me, I need this
    Keep it all down, bottled inside, it breaks me
    To torment again and torture me like it used to

    [Bridge]
    So now the waves they have subsided and my soul is bleeding
    I can't take away all the shame I feel, forgive me

    [Chorus]
    How do I feel? I've been here before, I've felt this
    Retreat to a place, a place within me, I need this
    Keep it all down, bottled inside, it breaks me
    To torment again and torture me like it used to

    [Outro]
    Again
    Again
    Again
    Again
