Feb 2022 girl-with-guitar folk alternative-folk singer-songwriter
Inspired by a friend who just went through a brutal breakup.
Recorded in one take on iPhone…please be gentle!
As I pull you closer
You push me farther
Why did you have a change of heart?
I thought what we had
Would last forever
But your coldness now tears me apart
La da da la da da
This is unreal, where do I even start?
You gave me no reason upon your depart
Why did you have a change of heart?
Why did you have a change of heart?
I stand all alone
Hollow chest and glazed eyes
Why did you have a change of heart?
My thoughts shift like clouds
In darkening skies
At least I know I did my part
La da da La da da
This is unreal, where do I even start?
You gave me no reason upon your depart
Why did you have a change of heart?
Why did you have a change of heart?
And as much as I try
I can’t help but cry
La da da La da da
This is unreal, where do I even start?
You gave me no reason upon your depart
Why did you have a change of heart?
Why did you have a change of heart?
Why did you have a change of heart?
Why did you have a change of heart?

Hi Karen, congrats on your first song of the month! Enjoying the lilting feel of this song, and how you switch from the minor key in the verse to a major key in the chorus through that "la da da" section. And the lyric "I stand all alone / Hollow chest and glazed eyes" is really evocative. Well done.
