I wish I knew the song playing in my heart
the lyrics seem to be breaking me apart
it's a different tune than the one before
the carefree melody is no more

I try to guess the chorus but I don't get it right
the unfamiliarity is keeping me up at night.
where is this coming from? why the sudden change?
the beat of the song makes my heart beat strange.

a new wave of emotion comes with this new song,
a feeling that makes what's right feel wrong.
I wish I had control, the instruments are out of my reach,
the vocals are deafening, an alarming screech.

I used to sing every line, danced to every word
but now I'm stuck frozen amidst noise so absurd.
this new song is an alert, a loud warning cry
calling for a change in direction away from a guy

the guitar strums confusion, the drums beat haste,
the resulting effect is a good relationship gone to waste
each note plays thoughts of doubt in my head,
the final product is a melody that's dead.

maybe it's maturity, maybe it's fear
but I lost something I held so dear.
if only this song was a little more clear,
I would save two people from shedding a tear
