Changeling - Zack Hemsey
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
