Change
Unveiling Heartache: Embracing Change in Nicky Phillips' Melody
Lyrics
I heard you were back, I heard that you’ve changed
The speaker has heard rumors of your return and a supposed change in you.
But I had to see it for myself, before it’s late
The speaker needed to verify the change personally before it becomes too late.
When you left here you said, that you’d never come back
Recalling when you left, you declared you would never return, unable to stay, try, or fight for the relationship.
That you couldn’t stay, couldn’t try, couldn’t fight, for us
Emphasizing your inability to stay, try, or fight for "us," expressing a sense of abandonment.
And I kept on waiting and waiting and waiting for you to come back
The speaker waited patiently for your return.
And I kept on thinking and thinking and thinking what I should have said.
Reflecting on missed opportunities and contemplating what should have been said during your departure.
Nothing can change the way I feel about you.
Asserting that the speaker's feelings for you remain unchanged despite the circumstances.
No passing time can heal over these wounds.
Time cannot mend the emotional wounds inflicted by your departure.
When I think back to before, I left a crack in the door
Recalling leaving a possibility for your return, indicated by a metaphorical "crack in the door."
Just in case you turned around and changed your mind wanting more
Expressing openness to you changing your mind and wanting more from the relationship.
But now I’m standing here, trying desperately to disappear
The speaker is currently feeling vulnerable and wishes to disappear in your presence.
As your eyes set down on my face, holding me there
Your gaze is impactful, holding the speaker in place.
And I keep on waiting and waiting and waiting for you to step back
Continued waiting for your return.
And I keep on thinking and thinking and thinking of how I should react.
Contemplating the appropriate reaction to your return.
But nothing can change the way I feel about you.
Reiterating that the speaker's feelings toward you remain unaltered.
No passing time can heal over these wounds
Time has not healed the emotional wounds caused by your departure.
Nothing can change, even when you’re here, even when you’re close
Stating that nothing changes in the speaker's feelings even when you are physically close.
Nothing can change even if you say you never meant to go.
Emphasizing the persistence of unchanged feelings despite your claim that leaving was unintentional.
But nothing can change the way I feel about you.
Reiterating the unwavering nature of the speaker's feelings toward you.
No passing time can heal over these wounds
Time still cannot heal the emotional wounds inflicted by your departure.
