I've changed

If you take a step back it's only been a while
But friend, I've changed
It's only been a few months since you've been gone
My whole life has rearranged
Friends have come and people have gone
No one's the same as you
It's only been a little while but I've changed
My hair is longer
I grew stronger

Now I know what it meant when you'd say
That you wanted to see how things would be
How you wanted to be alone without me
Now I know how to be when you're not around me
You never wanted to be
