Lyrics
Nobody saw it happen.
No warning.
No applause.
Just one night
Where something in me
Stopped answering
The old way.
Verse 1It started in small things
A message
I didn’t send
A place
I didn’t return to
A name
I stopped reaching for
I still looked
Like myself
Still answered
To the same name
But somewhere underneath
The old reflexes
Started dying
Pre-ChorusBy the time they noticed
I had already
Buried
What they remembered
ChorusI CHANGED
BEFORE ANYONE NOTICED
LONG BEFORE
THE OUTSIDE MOVED
BEFORE THE DISTANCE
BEFORE THE SILENCE
BEFORE THEY ASKED
WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU?
I CHANGED
IN A HUNDRED
PRIVATE DECISIONS
THE HARDEST PART
WAS ALREADY OVER
BEFORE ANYONE
KNEW
Verse 2They noticed
When I stopped chasing
When I stopped
Explaining every no
When I let the empty space
Stay empty
Instead of filling it
They called me cold
Called me different
Like I woke up
One morning
And chose another face
They never saw
How many nights
It took
To stop becoming
Who they expected
BridgeChange doesn’t always
Look like fire
Sometimes
It looks like restraint
Not calling
Not returning
Not begging
Not breaking
The promise
You made
Only to yourself
Black Metal BreakYOU SAW THE RESULT
NOT THE COST
YOU SAW THE BOUNDARY
NOT THE BLOOD BEHIND IT
YOU SAW THE SILENCE
NOT THE WAR
THAT MADE IT POSSIBLE
I DIDN’T CHANGE
WHEN YOU NOTICED
I CHANGED
WHEN NO ONE
WAS THERE
Final ChorusI CHANGED
BEFORE ANYONE NOTICED
LONG BEFORE
THE PROOF ARRIVED
BEFORE THE CALM
BEFORE THE DISTANCE
BEFORE I LOOKED
DIFFERENT TO YOU
I CHANGED
IN ROOMS
YOU NEVER ENTERED
THROUGH CHOICES
YOU NEVER SAW
THE MAN YOU MET LATER
WAS BUILT
LONG BEFORE
YOU KNEW
OutroNobody saw it happen.
That’s alright.
I did.
