“Change” is a song by the British band Tears for Fears. Written by Roland Orzabal and sung by bassist Curt Smith, it was the band’s fourth single release. It would eventually become the second hit from their debut LP The Hurting (1983) and second UK Top 5 chart hit, following the success of “Mad World”. The song also gave Tears for Fears their first charting single in the United States when it cracked the Billboard Hot 100 in August 1983. “Change” was also a big international success, reaching the Top 40 in numerous countries.

You walked into the room I just had to laugh The face you wore was cool You were a photograph When it’s all too late It’s all too late

I did not have the time I did not have the nerve To ask you how you feel Is this what you deserve? When it’s all too late It’s all too late

Change You can change Change You can change

And something on your mind Became a point of view I lost your honesty You lost the life in you When it’s all too late It’s all too late

We walk and talk in time I walk and talk in two Where does the end of me Become the start of you? When it’s all too late It’s all too late

Change You can change Change You can change

What has happened to The friend that I once knew? Has he gone away?

When it’s all too late It’s all too late Change

Change You can change Change You can change Change You can change Change You can change Change You can change Change
