Verse 1: I've heard your environment can change overnight. I believe that is right. They say your environment can change a lot in your life. They're not wrong. Your environment keeps you strong. Even if you've been there for a day or ten months. It doesn't matter. The only thing that matters is how it affects you. Our environment teaches us more than we could ever learn in school. We're affected from the people around us. You never know where other people have been or seen. You don't know their environment, so what's with the judging? Even if you disagree, we're only human aren't we?

Chorus: I remember the first day you told me the news. We'd be leaving everything I ever knew, but I left for you. We left so you could get your dream job, but now you're just miserable. You want me to leave again? Remember the first time when you told me? I was fighting back a tear when you said we'd be leaving here. Leaving where I grew up. Leaving the place where I finally made some friends. Moving a whole state away was the worse. Are you happy now? I'm in a place I've never been before. I left all my friends and I've got nobody. Are you happy now? We left everything behind and now you've changed your mind. Now you want me to move to Texas? You've got to be kidding. You probably are. When aren't you making some dumb joke? Is it everything that you dreamed? Neither of us having friends? Realizing I'd be away from anyone I could tell about you left me broken. Now that we've been here this long, my eyes are open.

Verse 2: Being here has woke me up. We've been here for half a year and sometimes I wish we could go home. Months ago I heard that we'd go back, but you said it wasn't true. Who was I to believe? Her or you?

Chorus: I remember the first day you told me the news. We'd be leaving everything I ever knew, but I left for you. We left so you could get your dream job, but now you're just miserable. You want me to leave again? Remember the first time when you told me? I was fighting back a tear when you said we'd be leaving here. Leaving where I grew up. Leaving the place where I finally made some friends. Moving a whole state away was the worse. Are you happy now? I'm in a place I've never been before. I left all my friends and I've got nobody. Are you happy now? We left everything behind and now you've changed your mind. Now you want me to move to Texas? You've got to be kidding. You probably are. When aren't you making some dumb joke? Is it everything that you dreamed? Neither of us having friends? Realizing I'd be away from anyone I could tell about you left me broken. Now that we've been here this long, my eyes are open.

Verse 3: I never realized how childish and foolish I was in the past. I should've know innocence doesn't last. I was naive as a little girl that never learned about the cruelty of the world.

Chorus: I remember the first day you told me the news. We'd be leaving everything I ever knew, but I left for you. We left so you could get your dream job, but now you're just miserable. You want me to leave again? Remember the first time when you told me? I was fighting back a tear when you said we'd be leaving here. Leaving where I grew up. Leaving the place where I finally made some friends. Moving a whole state away was the worse. Are you happy now? I'm in a place I've never been before. I left all my friends and I've got nobody. Are you happy now? We left everything behind and now you've changed your mind. Now you want me to move to Texas? You've got to be kidding. You probably are. When aren't you making some dumb joke?
