the art of changing your mind so fast yesterday's loves can't keep up
means the quality of being changeable and unreliable in one's loyalties, affections, or opinions, shifting without warning or reason
from From "fickle," which traces back to Old English "ficol," meaning deceitful or tricky — a word once tangled up with the idea of cunning and betrayal. It's related to "befician," to deceive. Over centuries the sting of "treacherous" softened into mere "changeable," so that what once accused a liar now only teases a wanderer of the heart. The "-ness" is the plain old English suffix that turns a quality into a thing you can name.
