Lyrics
I was hoping you'd be somewhere better than this
Miles away from this simple town
And I was hoping you would be the one that I'd miss
I thought you'd be a thing by now
But you had to leave though
Sell that beautiful ego
Do the only thing you know
Yeah, yeah, ay
And as far as she know
You still the only hero
You had to up and go
I was hoping you changed, you changed
Hoping you changed
I was hoping you changed, you changed
Hoping you changed, ay-ay
'Cause we've been playing normal for a decade or two
Cashing in on the weekly wage
Tried to ask you something, but it might seem rude
Do you like living life that way?
Look, a dream fading
Don't you let it fade for you
Forget about waiting
Ain't nobody wait for you
And I'm sitting here, some nights
Hope my luck is on the sunrise
Baby, it worked for you
I was hoping you changed (ay), you changed (ay)
Hoping you changed
I was hoping you changed (ay), you changed (ay)
Hoping you changed, ay-ay
'Cause man, I froze at the sight of you
And I've been so patient with everything you put me through
And I know I could never go back
But I know you'd never notice that
Man, I was hoping you'd (changed, baby)
(Being the one that I once knew, oh)
Man, I was hoping I'd (changed, baby)
(Being the one there beside you, oh)
Look, a dream fading
Don't you let it fade for you
Forget about waiting
Ain't nobody wait for you
And I'm sitting here, some nights
Hope my luck is on the sunrise
Baby, it worked for you
I was hoping you changed (ay), you changed (ay)
Hoping you changed
I was hoping you changed (ay), you changed (ay)
Hoping you changed
