Changed
Unchanged Resilience: Thomas Goforth LT's Reflections
Lyrics
You said I changed
You accused me of changing
But still I don't see a damn thing
Despite your claim, I don't perceive any significant difference
When I look in the mirror I see, I see
When I examine myself in the mirror, I see...
I still see me
I still see the same person I was
You said I changed
Reiteration of the accusation of change
But I still do the same old things
Continuing to engage in familiar behaviors despite the claim
I was doin' when you found me
Referencing past actions during our initial encounter
When you came around me
Emphasizing your presence and influence
Maybe it's you that changed
Suggesting that perhaps it's you who has changed
And I cry when I'm lonely at night when I got no one else
Expressing loneliness and vulnerability at night without companionship
When I'm layin' in bed see your picture up on the shelf
Reflecting on a shared past by observing a picture on the shelf
But I know that god made me strong I can handle anything
Believing in personal strength and resilience granted by a higher power
I'm not scared of the thunder before the rain
Remaining unafraid of challenges, symbolized by thunder before rain
You said I changed
Reiteration of the accusation of change
But still I don't see a damn thing
Similar to line 2, the speaker disputes the claim of change
When I look in the mirror I see, I see
Revisiting self-reflection in the mirror
I still see me
Reaffirmation that the core self remains unchanged
You said I changed
Reiteration of the accusation of change
But I still do the same old things
Reaffirming the persistence of familiar behaviors
I was doin' when you found me
Recalling past actions during initial contact
When you came around me
Highlighting your impact on the speaker's life
Maybe it's you that changed
Suggesting uncertainty about who has truly changed
I don't know if your missin' me, no
Expressing uncertainty about whether you miss the speaker
I don't know if I'm your cup of tea anymore
Doubting if the speaker is still your preferred choice
Used to think I was all you needed though
Recalling a past belief that the speaker fulfilled all your needs
I know that times are different
Acknowledging the inevitability of change over time
I know things can change along the way
Recognizing that circumstances and feelings can evolve
Baby I don't know what else to say
Expressing a sense of helplessness or uncertainty in the situation
Baby you said I changed,
Reiteration of the accusation of change
You said I changed
Similar to line 2 and 15, rejecting the notion of significant change
But still I don't see a damn thing
Revisiting self-reflection in the mirror
When I look in the mirror I see, I see
Reaffirmation that the core self remains unchanged
I still see me
Reiteration of the speaker's consistent self-perception
You said I changed
Reiteration of the accusation of change
But I still do the same old things
Emphasizing the continuity of familiar behaviors
I was doin' when you found me
Recalling past actions during initial contact
When you came around me
Highlighting your impact on the speaker's life
Maybe it's you that changed
Suggesting uncertainty about who has truly changed
