Changeling
Feelings overflowAnd I’m not letting goThough in my heart I knowI know
Don’t wanna be over youDon’t wanna be over youDon’t wanna be over youBut you are not you
She said this wasn’t easy for herDeciding to walk away wasn’t easy to herAnd she said, she felt the world was just something that she observedThat she was inadequateThat her place hadn’t been earnedShe said, she wasn’t happy with how her life had turnedFeeling the real her was something she had to learnI said, this isn’t easy but I support unnervedBelieving that in time she’d wake up and returnBut hope would fade as those few days had turned to weeksAnd those weeks created something of which I couldn’t speakExcept to say it spoke as if I wasn’t meAs if we now hadn’t been together since we were teensAs if these nine years were from a convincing dreamAnd the woman I thought I loved never loved me, I can’t conceiveThis had to be a thingSort of like a changelingIt acted and spoke the partBut her essence it couldn’t sing
Don’t wanna be over youDon’t wanna be over youDon’t wanna be over youBut I’ll just have to make it through'Cuz you are not you
When you’ve gone astrayAnd the world just won’t obeyWhen you fall awayWell we all must find our own way
It’s quite amusing how being apart can yieldLevels of clarity on confusion once thought surrealAnd what amazement to come to find you can healThat one’s future isn’t ill-fated but slated for high appealWell solace gives opportunity to revealAnd time sheds perspective on why one feelsTo see success even in division’s the testWell every day we had wasn’t anything short of blessedSo changeling, change bringsMore than deranged thingsStrange thingsI’ve near persevered in an upswingSo cling to new hopeMore than a good showSo do sing, do glowAnd to this new youLet us remove adoLet us now greet renewed and just start from a different viewI’ll introduce myselfNow you introduce yourselfWe’ll smile and live in health as two friends who have never dwelt
Don’t wanna be over youDon’t wanna be over youDon’t wanna be over youBut you are not you
Don’t wanna be over youDon’t wanna be over youDon’t wanna be over youBut you are not youYou are not youYou are not youYou are not youYou are not youYou are not you.
