Changeling lyrics

Feelings overflow

And I’m not letting go

Though in my heart I know

I know

Don’t wanna be over you

Don’t wanna be over you

Don’t wanna be over you

But you are not you

She said this wasn’t easy for her

Deciding to walk away wasn’t easy to her

And she said, she felt the world was just something that she observed

That she was inadequate

That her place hadn’t been earned

She said, she wasn’t happy with how her life had turned

Feeling the real her was something she had to learn

I said, this isn’t easy but I support unnerved

Believing that in time she’d wake up and return

But hope would fade as those few days had turned to weeks

And those weeks created something of which I couldn’t speak

Except to say it spoke as if I wasn’t me

As if we now hadn’t been together since we were teens

As if these nine years were from a convincing dream

And the woman I thought I loved never loved me, I can’t conceive

This had to be a thing

Sort of like a changeling

It acted and spoke the part

But her essence it couldn’t sing

Don’t wanna be over you

Don’t wanna be over you

Don’t wanna be over you

But I’ll just have to make it through

'Cuz you are not you

When you’ve gone astray

And the world just won’t obey

When you fall away

Well we all must find our own way

It’s quite amusing how being apart can yield

Levels of clarity on confusion once thought surreal

And what amazement to come to find you can heal

That one’s future isn’t ill-fated but slated for high appeal

Well solace gives opportunity to reveal

And time sheds perspective on why one feels

To see success even in division’s the test

Well every day we had wasn’t anything short of blessed

So changeling, change brings

More than deranged things

Strange things

I’ve near persevered in an upswing

So cling to new hope

More than a good show

So do sing, do glow

And to this new you

Let us remove ado

Let us now greet renewed and just start from a different view

I’ll introduce myself

Now you introduce yourself

We’ll smile and live in health as two friends who have never dwelt

Don’t wanna be over you

Don’t wanna be over you

Don’t wanna be over you

But you are not you

Don’t wanna be over you

Don’t wanna be over you

Don’t wanna be over you

But you are not you

You are not you

You are not you

You are not you

You are not you

You are not you.
