One last glance from a taxicab   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   Didn't want any promises   Just my undivided honesty      And say, oh, whoa   Things are gonna change now, for the better   And oh, whoa, 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 will 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 sing, oh, whoa   Things are gonna change now, for the better   And oh, whoa, things are gonna change      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've dismantled me   You've dismantled me      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've dismantled me   You've dismantled 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      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've dismantled me   You've dismantled me      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've dismantled me   You've dismantled me      Save me from myself   Save me from myself   Help me save me from myself   Save me from myself      Oh, whoa, things are gonna change now, for the better   And oh, whoa, things are gonna change      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've dismantled me   You've dismantled me      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've dismantled me   You've dismantled me      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've dismantled me   You've dismantled me      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've dismantled me   You've dismantled me
