things haven't really changed, have they?

I deceived myself into things had changed
they had only changed for me,
my heart turned around to be anew
but nothing else followed suit,
the spades, clubs, hearts, and diamonds
still remained lifeless paintings on cards
and I still have been dealt a sore hand
she still is as cold and distant as before
and she doesn't care about me anymore

the other still can't control herself
she's hasn't changed much, she's still
so angry inside and out

and I can't seem to reach my angel
her walls have always been up so high
but I have never noticed them before
and I am not an angel
I have no wings to fly over them
I just have to wait until she opens the gate

I still worry about them all every night
and I carry their burdens with them
but there's nothing I can do to change
any of the situation
all I did was change myself
but that's not enough for them
is it?
