Lyrics

Hello?

Initiating communication, seeking attention.

Are you listening?

Confirmation of listener presence and engagement.

If you hear me, I just need to know

Expressing a need for assurance of not being alone.

That I am not alone

A desire for emotional connection.

But if I am, I guess that’s fine

Acceptance of the possibility of being alone.

I guess that’s fine

Reiteration of acceptance of solitude.

Hello?

Reinitiating contact, seeking forgiveness.

Do you forgive me?

Asking for forgiveness, acknowledging the need for change.

I’m trying to change, but I see

Expressing efforts to change, realization of abandonment.

You have given up on me

Acknowledgment of the perceived abandonment.

So is this it, tell me why

Questioning the situation, seeking an explanation.

Tell me why

Repetition of the request for an explanation.

What’s the point of trying to change me

Repetition emphasizing the futility of attempts to change.

What’s the point of trying to change me

-

What’s the point of trying to change me

-

When all you see is who I used to be

Highlighting that past perceptions define current views.

Hello?

Reaching out again, searching for recognition.

Can you find me?

Expressing a desire to be found, possibly in a metaphorical sense.

I changed my name so you could love me without knowing me

Changing identity to facilitate acceptance without understanding.

But if you leave, I understand

Acceptance of potential departure, understanding the consequences.

Reiteration of acceptance and understanding.

What’s the point of trying to change me

Repetition of the futility of change, emphasizing past perceptions.

What’s the point of trying to change me

-

What’s the point of trying to change me

-

When all you see is who I used to be

-

What’s the point of trying to change me

-

What’s the point of trying to change me

-

What’s the point of trying to change me

-

When all you see is who I used to be

-

What’s the point of trying to change me

Continuation of the theme, emphasizing the impact of past selves.

What’s the point of trying to change me

-

What’s the point of trying to change me

-

When all you see is who I used to be
