Maybe You've Changed
Changed Beyond Repair: A Reflection on Blame and Belief
Lyrics
Nobody needs to hold a candle to my flame
Nobody needs to compete with my achievements or qualities.
It's already burned out some time ago
My passion or enthusiasm has faded away some time in the past.
Nobody needs to come around to my place
No one is required to visit me at my place.
'Cause I don't feel like answering the door
I don't want to engage with the outside world or respond to anyone.
Oh, do my eyes deceive me?
Questioning the accuracy of what I see with my eyes.
Do my ears misjudge what is really real?
Questioning the reliability of what I hear and perceive as reality.
Try to piece together how I feel lately
Trying to understand and make sense of my recent emotional state.
'Cause I feel I'm going crazy
Feeling like I'm losing my sanity or mental stability.
But it ain't me
Asserting that the cause of the troubles isn't me.
And maybe this has changed me, might even rearrange me
Suggesting that recent experiences may have had a profound impact on me.
And maybe this has changed me beyond repair
Speculating that these experiences might have permanently altered or damaged me.
And maybe this has changed me, might even rearrange me
Reiterating the idea that the experiences could have changed and disrupted me.
I put the blame on me, I put the blame on me, I put the blame on me
Acknowledging responsibility for the situation and its consequences.
But the blame was on you, but the blame was on you, ooh-ooh-ooh, oh
Realizing that the blame should be placed on someone else, not on me.
All this time
Referring to the passage of time.
Oh-oh-oh (ooh)
Expressing emotions with an exclamation (ooh).
Ooh-ooh-ooh (ooh)
Repeating the expressive vocalization (ooh).
Somebody better come fix this mess we're in
Calling for someone to resolve the current chaotic situation.
Oh, how we promised we wouldn't end up here
Reflecting on broken promises and the undesired present state.
Tell me how you let the battles in with me
Questioning how conflicts entered the relationship.
Was waiting on you to cash in for the post or just get paid
Waiting for compensation or acknowledgment, whether emotional or financial.
And don't forget, I know how to walk away and I will
Asserting the ability to walk away from the situation.
See your hit don't last and the moment's over, did you do it for the thrill?
Noting that the impact of actions is temporary and driven by thrill-seeking.
See I've been carrying the weight of the world, you're supposed to be relieving me
Expressing the burden of responsibilities that the other person was supposed to help with.
Then maybe you'll change because we do, but you just don't believe in me no more
Hopeful that the other person will change, but acknowledging disbelief in this change.
(Ooh)
Repeating the expressive vocalization (ooh).
Why don't you believe in me no more?
Questioning the loss of belief in oneself by the other person.
(Ooh)
Repeating the query about lost belief.
Why don't you believe in me no more?
Continuing to express disbelief in the relationship.
(Ooh)
Repeating the disbelief.
Why don't you believe in me no more?
Emphasizing the loss of belief in the relationship.
No more, no more, no more, no more (ooh)
Repeating the sense of loss.
(Ooh)
Repeating the expressive vocalization (ooh).
Why don't you believe in me no more?
Reiterating the question about lost belief.
(Ooh)
Continuing to express disbelief in the relationship.
Why don't you believe in me no more?
Repeating the disbelief.
(Ooh)
Emphasizing the loss of belief in the relationship.
Why don't you believe in me no more?
Repeating the sense of loss.
No more, no more, no more, no more
Repeating the expressive vocalization (ooh).
Put the blame on me, but the blame's on you
Taking responsibility for the situation but asserting that the real blame lies with the other person.
Put the blame on me, oh
Repeating the acknowledgment of personal responsibility.
All this time
Reflecting on the passage of time.
