Haunting and reflective, “Gonna Change” speaks to deep truths about love, loss, and shared responsibility. With imagery of desert heat, mirages, and whiskey-soaked illusions, the track wrestles with the strain between holding on and letting go. Carried by a smoky, Whiskey Myers–inspired groove, it’s a soul-stirring journey through regret, recognition, and uneasy acceptance.

(Verse 1)
If you only knew the depth of love I hold inside
How I long to hold you close and never leave your side
Every little thing you do sets my heart on fire
Girl, you're all I'll ever want, all I'll ever desire
The way you laugh, the way you shine, beauty in your eyes
You've stolen my heart completely, much to my surprise

(Chorus)
Don't let me go, I'm begging you to stay
Without your love, I'd surely lose my way
You're the sunshine in my morning,
 the stars that light my night
You capture my heart and soul
Don't let me go, hold me tight

(Verse 2)
When I look into your eyes, I see my future there
A love so deep and true, beyond what we can share
The gentle way you whisper when you call my name
Sets my restless heart at ease, nothing feels the same
Your tender kiss, your warm embrace, 
the way you make me whole
You've captured everything I am, my heart, my very soul

(Chorus)
Don't let me go, I'm begging you to stay
Without your love, I'd surely lose my way
You're the sunshine in my morning, 
the stars that light my night
You capture my heart and soul
Don't let me go, hold me tight

(Break)
[Instrumental with pedal steel and acoustic guitar]

(Bridge)
Please don't let me go, you're my everything
You're the reason that my heart still sings
Without you here, I'd be lost and alone
Drowning in sorrow, chilled to the bone
You're my salvation, my guiding light
You capture my heart and soul each night

(Final Chorus)
Don't let me go, I'm begging you to stay
Without your love, I'd surely lose my way
You're the sunshine in my morning, 
the stars that light my night
You capture my heart and soul
Don't let me go, hold me tight

(Outro)
You capture my heart and soul
Don't let me go, don't let me go
	

Constantly
