Changes (2024 Version)

The changes in you reflect the changes in me
Like looking at my failures in the mirror
You aren't who you used to be
The changes are deceiving me
But the time is drawing nearer
The path ain't getting any clearer
You see?
You pick at what is left of me
Do you want me out?
Do you want me there?
Tell me because you ain't been clear
Do you know what you want?
Do you know what you need?
Does any of it even involve me?
Did you ever care, or do I even want to know?
Conflicted emotions keep the spark aflame, kindle to a dying hearth
But why keep a fire burning that you didn't mean to start?
Perhaps its fickle, perhaps it's amusing
Perhaps its just a thing you're using
You're the master of the heartstring
I'm a puppet, you're master of the scene
What will you do when they're all gone?
I've seen it before, know it won't be long
Because what can you do, when the thrill is gone?
Will you ever realize what you've done wrong?
I wish you the best and do hope you see
The best things in life are the things that be
But of all the things I wish you'd see
You can't keep crawling back to me
