Prevailing Winds

This one is about a person who realizes that even if you promise you'll never change, sometimes in the end you fall to the pressure. Don't blame anyone for changing who you are

This is the feeling

I’m accepting not dealing

It won’t go away

And I think it wants me to stay

 

Everyone

just seems to stare

I found some happiness

but you had to ask ‘where’?

 

I changed my look

I dyed my hair

I wrote some songs

But you don’t care

 

This isn’t right

No, it’s not fair

But I sit here writing

In this broken chair

 

I bought a house

I snagged a car

But I’m still alone

When no one’s home

 

The seasons’ changed

From winter to spring

And my head kinda hurts

So I took what you gave

I promise it won’t change me

 

Been two years now

Maybe more

The chair is gone

And my head aches worse

 

Never broken a bone

But I’ve broken my heart

I did it myself

A special kind of art

 

I built this house

I built it of stone

I made it a home

But I’m still all alone

 

Sometimes I look back

Wanting to fill the crack

The one in my heart

From when I took your advice

Cause it changed my life
