Funny How Things Change (Poem) Lyrics

Never wanted anyone
Now somebody’s here
Never missed his kisses
Now I need him near
Never felt this happy
Never felt this strange
Funny how things change
Funny how things change
Lived my life in starlight
Never saw the sun
Thought that I was heartless
Now my heart’s been won
Thought that I was happy
Thought that love was strange
Funny how things change
Funny how things change
Walked into the fire
Smiled at the pain
Then when I had healed myself
I ran out in the rain
Thought that I was crazy
Thought that I was strange
Now I know I’m normal
Funny how things change
Now I know I’m human
Funny how things change

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
