One last glance from a taxi cab   Images scar my mind   Four weeks felt like years   Since your full attention was all mine   The night was young and so were we   Talked about life, God, death, and your family   Did not want any promises,   Just my undivided honesty, and you said      Oh, things are gonnachange now for the better   Oh, things are gonna change, oh, they're gonna change      I am the patron saint of lost causes   A fraction of who I once believed (change)   Only a matter of time   Opinions I would try and rewrite   If life had background music playing your song   I've got to be honest, I tried to escape you   But the orchestra plays on, and they sang      Oh, things are gonna change now for the better   And oh, things are gonna change      [Chorus 2x]   Hands, like secrets, are the hardest thing to keep from you   Lines and phrases, like knives, your words can cut me through   Dismantle me down (repair)   You dismantle me   You dismantle me      Give me time to prove   Prove I want the rest of yours (prelude)   Call this a prelude to a lifetime of you   It's not that I hang on every word   I hang myself on what you repeat   It's not that I keep hanging on   I'm never letting go      [Chorus 2x]   Hands, like secrets, are the hardest thing to keep from you   Lines and phrases, like knives, your words can cut me through   Dismantle me down (repair)   You dismantle me   You dismantle me      Save me from myself   Save me from myself   Help me save me from myself   Save me from myself      Oh, things are gonna change now for the better   And oh, things are gonna change      [Chorus 3x]   Hands, like secrets, are the hardest thing to keep from you   Lines and phrases, like knives, your words can cut me through   Dismantle me down (repair)   You dismantle me   You dismantle me
