Thank you for sharing the deeper meaning!

Fighting who I am in subtle ways
Losing my voice; you twist what I say
Change what I thought; think what a change overcame me
After the kiss of 2006

, are to be understood as



? I wasn't quite sure who did the fighting and who did what in these bits.. just wanted to know if I got your meaning there :wink: You've got the gist of it down. :D The fighting part is the idea of someone getting under your skin and become so much a part of you, they change who you are and at times you realize it and accept it and at times you think...."this isn't me talking....these aren't my thoughts".
...since this is a songwriting forum, I think we can share some meanings we wouldn't otherwise necessarily to the "general public"....For this song, I personified "cancer" I had a surgery and treatment for sinus cancer during 2006...not what I was expecting at 35 years old :shock: , but needless to say, the whole experience was quite life impacting....Thankfully I've had nothing but clean bills of health at my routine checkups. :D

...so the deeper meaning was it wasn't an experience I would have chosen, but I learned from it.....the layer up is the idea "better to have love and lost than to have never have loved at all" The surface meaning is someone was hurt by another in a relationship but grew from the experience.

Thanks for asking for clarification.

and the melody and all that! great!

was wondering whether these "fighting" parts, e.g. Fighting who I am in subtle ways
Losing my voice; you twist what I say
Change what I thought; think what a change overcame me
After the kiss of 2006 , are to be understood as

I'm glad to hear it grew on you. Regarding the country flavor, I did put a bit of twang on it, but it's more an indie-pseudo country than pure country. :wink:

Thanks, Christiaan.
I like the rewrite, well done. I don't think there's anything I would change here

Nice work!
