If it Ain’t Broke, Don’t Fix it.

“If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it”

I’ve never been one for change

I’ve never liked taking a risk

So that’s what I always say

 

I’ve never been one for change

The appeal just has never been clear

So that’s what I always say

To avoid hurting myself or the ones I hold dear

 

The appeal just has never been clear

I usually choose not to choose

To avoid hurting myself or the ones I hold dear

I have everything to lose. 

 

I usually choose not to choose. 

I don’t wait for the stars to align

I have everything to lose-

Why would I risk what is already mine?

 

I don’t wait for the stars to align

I don’t need fantasy or elegant folklore. 

Why would I risk what is already mine,

When there might never be anything more?

 

I don’t need fantasy or elegant folklore

I’ve never liked taking a risk

When there might never be anything more

If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.
