Story Behind The Song
The main thing that inspired me to write of this song was obviously change. More specifically, I wrote it because I was going through a time when my relationships-with family and friends-were struggling. Suddenly, some of the people I was so close to started to avoid me and not respect the decisions I made. I never knew who to talk to about it because I didn't know who to trust. That's why I turned to my keyboard and with the help of my dad on guitar, this song came together.

Lyrics
Everything I loved has been lost
To the wind
And it's happening all too fast
Yet I don't cave in
I take walks in the evening just watch
The sun set over the town
This is my escape place
When daily pressures abound
Oh, this is my escape place
When daily pressures abound
CHORUS:
I listen to the winds of change
They've never hit me like this before
They blow so hard that I can't inhale
It's only a battle, not really a war
All I do is sit back
And watch things die
All you do is re-open wounds of the past
And make me cry
This ain't right
You're supposed to be the people that I love
Hold your tongue and don't say anything
Cuz it'll only make it worse
Cus it'll only make it worse
CHORUS REPEAT
Lately, I don't know who to believe
When I'm pulled to the right and the left
I just want a room with a view again
A place to find my breath
A place to find my breath
Everything I want
Everything I need
Anything I do
I just want some room
I just need to breathe...
