Changing

he likes brunettes but i was blonde 
he likes the darkness but the sun is my favourite 
he wakes up early but i like to stay up late 

I dye my virgin hair. brunette now 
i hide from the sun and learn to love the dark
i became a morning person, will he like me 

however now he likes blondes 
and loves to soak up the sun 
he’s awake all night now 

i changed for him 
but now he prefers the way i was 
why doesn’t he want me? now or then

i changed for his attention 
for his love 
and yet now or then
i’m still not the one
