WHEN DID U CHANGE
Anxiety of Change: Heartbreak in Silence
Lyrics
Didn't you feel the static of what we could've had
Expressing disappointment that a potential relationship didn't materialize, questioning if the other person perceived the missed opportunity.
Or was I just another guy a part of your plans
Wondering if the speaker was just a pawn in the other person's plans, feeling uncertain about their significance.
I'm just a nice guy, you love to hold your hand
Describing oneself as a kind person who enjoyed physical closeness with the other person.
Take you on a couple dates to spend up my cash
Reflecting on spending money on dates, possibly feeling used or unappreciated.
I thought I treated you right
Expressing a belief in treating the other person well.
What did I do so wrong
Expressing confusion about what went wrong in the relationship.
But we just argue all night
Acknowledging conflicts in the relationship leading to the creation of heartbreak songs.
While I write heartbreak songs
Describing the emotional aftermath of the arguments through songwriting.
Never thought they'd be about you
Surprised that the heartbreak songs are about the specific person.
Cut you off, I didn't think I'd ever have to
Mentioning cutting ties with the person, an unexpected and regrettable action.
Oh
Expressing a sense of sadness or realization.
Now I'm falling on my own
Acknowledging a personal fall or decline in emotional well-being.
And I ain't got your hand
Feeling alone without the other person's support and presence.
By my side to hold
-You won't catch me, yeah I know

I get anxiety

-I get anxiety
Reiterating the theme of anxiety and questioning when the other person changed.
When did you change
-I get anxiety
Continuing to express anxiety when encountering the other person.
When I see your face
-Don't you ever think about what we could've been
Reflecting on the other person's focus on friends and lack of communication about personal struggles.
But you were to focused on your other friends
-You never told me what you were going through
-And you never told me what, that I had to do
-Just to make you mine
Expressing the speaker's desire to make the other person theirs, suggesting commitment.
I heard you're getting high
