You've Changed
Dakota Staton Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've an awful feeling that
This thought that's been a-stealing
Through my brain
Is not to be ignored

But to really tell the truth
Though I'm not a well known sleuth
I honestly believe
That you are bored

You've changed
That sparkle in your eye is gone
Your smile is just a careless yawn
You're breaking my heart
You've changed

You've changed
You're kisses now are so blase
You're bored with me in every way
I can't understand
You've changed

You've forgotten the words 'I love you'
Each memory that we've shared
You ignore every star above you
I can't realize you've ever cared

You've changed
You're not the angel I once knew
No need to tell me that we're through




It's all over now
You've changed

Line by Line Meaning

I've an awful feeling that
I have a terrible feeling that


This thought that's been a-stealing
This idea that's been creeping


Through my brain
Into my mind


Is not to be ignored
Should not be disregarded


But to really tell the truth
To be completely honest


Though I'm not a well known sleuth
Even though I'm not a detective


I honestly believe
I truly think


That you are bored
That you are uninterested


You've changed
You are different now


That sparkle in your eye is gone
You don't have that twinkle in your eye anymore

Your smile is just a lazy, unenthusiastic gesture


You're breaking my heart
You're causing me a lot of emotional pain

You don't even notice the beauty around you

I can't believe you ever had feelings for me


You've changed
You're not the same person anymore


You're not the angel I once knew
You're not the amazing person I used to know


No need to tell me that we're through
No need to inform me that we're over


It's all over now
Our relationship is finished


You've changed
You're not the same person you used to be
