I Can’t Stay the Same Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I had a plan
I had a past
I was always working fast
I knew the words, I knew myself
I didn’t need any help

[Chorus]
I can’t, I can’t stay
I can’t stay the same
I can’t, I can’t stay
I can’t stay the same

[Verse 2]
It was gift to admit
It was a gift, when I was wrong
I knew it once, I felt it twice
Only myself, alone in a spotlight
My revolution wasn’t simple, but it was a quiet mind
A risk I take, I had to earn
Revelation is a long, slow line

[Chorus]
I can’t, I can’t stay
I can’t stay the same
I can’t, I can’t stay
I can’t stay the same
I can’t, I can’t stay
I can’t stay the same
I can’t, I can’t stay
I can’t stay the same

[Outro]
Don’t you stop believing (Don't you stop believing)
The healer is within
The cycles of the seasons
And we begin again, again, again
Don’t you stop believing (Don't you stop believing)
The healer is within
The cycles of the seasons (The cycles of the seasons)
And we begin again, again, again

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.
