Title: Mood Swings Verse 1: Woke up to Jekyll, went to bed with Hyde Some days you’re complaining about aches and pain inside “I don’t feel good,” your anthem at the start Then in the car, you’re pleasant— But hunger hits and you fall apart I brace for the snap, the curt reply If I stand my ground, you twist my words and ask me why Pre-Chorus: Never sure which side of you I’ll meet Words get twisted, truth or repeat You say it’s nothing, but I feel the strain I’m left questioning my own mind again Chorus: Mood swings, swinging like a wrecking ball I’m hanging by a thread, waiting for the next fall When you turn the world around, then you tell me to “drop it” My heart can’t take another hit I try to take one for the team, I turn my cheek again But there’s a limit to my strength, to how much I can withstand Verse 2: I walk out of the room just to breathe, You follow with questions I don’t want to receive You judge my motives, try to read my mind Deflecting my feelings, leaving me behind You get sad when I don’t sit by your side, But you stare at the TV every night I’ve got a life and a soul to tend— I want to heal and grow with God, not just pretend Riding in the car is a burden I bear, I play music to cope when the silence is there Today you accused me for filling the void— Is wanting some comfort so wrong to enjoy? If you really wanted to know what I feel inside, I wish you would ask and open up, try to see my side Pre-Chorus: Never sure which side of you I’ll meet Words get twisted, truth or repeat You say it’s nothing, but I feel the strain I’m left questioning my own mind again Chorus: Mood swings, swinging like a wrecking ball I’m hanging by a thread, waiting for the next fall When you turn the world around, then you tell me to “drop it” My heart can’t take another hit I try to take one for the team, I turn my cheek again But there’s a limit to my strength, to how much I can withstand Bridge: Eggshells in the hallway, I’m learning not to speak You say, “just drop it,” but my hurt runs deep You’re pleasant, you’re helpful—then you turn on a dime I’m dizzy from the whiplash, losing track of time Chorus: Mood swings, swinging like a wrecking ball I’m hanging by a thread, waiting for the next fall When you turn the world around, then you tell me to “drop it” My heart can’t take another hit I try to take one for the team, I turn my cheek again But there’s a limit to my strength, to how much I can withstand Outro: Jekyll in the morning, Hyde at night I’m walking on eggshells, I’m losing the fight Mood swings, mood swings— How do I survive? Turned my cheek so many times, Now I’m running out of tries And I can’t keep hiding my pain By numbing out like everything is peachy fine [AlorawithDragon Music (C) 2026 All Rights Reserved] [Artist’s Summary: “Mood Swings” was written from the trenches of emotional exhaustion and the turmoil of living with unpredictable behavior in a relationship. The song is a raw confession of what it feels like to walk on eggshells—never knowing which version of the person you love will show up, or when a seemingly calm day will shift into another storm. It’s about the mental toll of being misunderstood, having your feelings dismissed, and constantly having to question your own reality, all while trying to keep the peace and not lose yourself in the process. The lines about car rides, hiding pain, and “taking one for the team” are more than just stories—they’re survival strategies. As the song unfolds, it’s clear that love and tolerance have limits, and that pretending “everything is peachy fine” only deepens the pain. For me, music and faith are ways to cope, to process the chaos, and to find my own voice again. If you’ve ever felt trapped by someone else’s mood swings or struggled to hold on to yourself amidst emotional upheaval, this song is for you. It’s an anthem for anyone weary of hiding, numbing out, or bearing the brunt of someone else’s storms. My hope is that it helps you feel seen, less alone, and reminds you that your feelings—and your sanity—matter There are always two sides of the story. We talked things out, and things are fine, and God helped us to lay our defenses down.]
