Lyrics

Changing
Words & Music by Dave Nachmanoff

I thought we had something real
Now I don’t know what I feel
I’m looking in the mirror, and I don’t know who I see
There’s someone staring back there, but I swear it isn’t me
It’s not your fault, it’s not your fault I’m changing
It’s not your fault, it’s not your fault, it’s not your fault it’s strange

CHORUS:
Like a butterfly that’s changing
To a caterpillar, I’m
Like a butterfly that’s changing
Wrapped up so tight in this cocoon
In a moment out of time
Like a butterfly that’s changing

I was happy with who I was
And I was happy with who you were
But I keep my door locked tight now, and I cannot let you in
It’s like I go away and I can’t tell you where I’ve been
It’s not your fault, it’s not your fault I’m frozen
It’s not your fault, it’s not your fault, it’s not your fault I’m closing down

(CHORUS)

BRIDGE:
Up on this tightrope, taking tiny steps
Or sometimes none at all
Can’t turn around now or look down now
And if I hesitate I’ll fall
It’s not your fault, it’s not your fault I’m stumbling
It’s not your fault, it’s not your fault, it’s not your fault I’m tumbling down

(CHORUS)
