Annotations and Meaning:

The DeMarco Sisters' track "Time Didn't Change a Thing" could very well reflect upon that of love lost and the very structure of heartbreak. This song just sums up this very broad universal theme of the one left behind, longingly feeling and pining for love lost through traditional pop sensibilities.
In the first lyric, there is a struggle on the part of the speaker at the absence of his lover, for he says, "Since you have gone, I can't go on." This sets an instant tone of despair and longing, stating just how much the departure of a loved one can cease the purpose and joy of somebody's existence.
In point of fact, the repeated line, "Time didn't change a thing," should quite literally be the focal point of the song. It utilized the time-worn cliché to express in time healing all wounds, presenting an alternate reality: time has not served them to get unstuck from their pain, nor to succeed in diminishing love. It is a vivid reminder of how the deep emotional bondage is able to hold out against time and be as strong and all-engrossing as ever.

The words "I miss you so; you've got to know" simply go on to deepen the emotional landscape of the song, showing so poignantly the ever-enduring struggle the singer has with his grief and lack of closure. There is expression of unabated sorrow and longing for the loved one to return, pointing toward the constant, persistent hold of love upon the heart.

The song also touches upon the advice of friends, who suggest that the narrator will forget their lost love.

The line "How can I get you off my mind when I can't get you out of my heart?" uncovers a pathos at the futility of such advice, the depth of the narrator's attachment, and the movement of impossibility onward. He closes the lines with "Come back to me, and you will see my love's undying," that one would come back to an undying love. Further, this drives the idea home of timeless love against all odds.
