I'm changing my mind   changing my clothes   cut of my hair   wrote these new prose      changed my beliefs   my outlook and view   new tricks up my sleeve   I changed me for you      I changed all my sheets   my thoughts and all these   old photograph frames   and philosophies      moved on long ago   but still need to know   where we stand   I'm running in place   stuck to the road as you win the race      and i still can't perceive   if you were to leave   why would you stitch this heart to my sleeve?      Baby, I've changed for the better   I really wish that you could see   I'm a far closer version to the   person you would want me to be   and by now you have forgotten but   consider this a guarantee -   you won't believe it's me   I've changed for the better   I really wish that you could see      My quirks are all gone   my habits erased   the broken records   have all been replaced      the gaps in my smile   all new, pearly white   think most when I sleep   alone every night      believe it or not   I'm happier now   but that doesn't mean   that I'll forget how      I took this so far   and healed every scar   from you, I want you to see   I stand on my own and I can still breathe      but I still can't perceive   if you were to leave   why would you stitch this heart to my sleeve?      Baby, I've changed for the better   I really wish that you could see   I'm a far closer version to the   person you would want me to be   and by now you have forgotten but   consider this a guarantee -   you won't believe it's me   I've changed for the better   I really wish that you could see      I'll call you tonight   put all my nerves aside   and if the chance to be disappointed   don't outweigh my pride      I'll compose and arrange   you can supply the refrain   I'll take the chance of being disappointed because   baby, I've changed      I'm breaking the lease   settling the balance just to put this at peace   but I still can't perceive   if you were to leave   why would you stitch this heart to my sleeve?      Baby, I've changed for the better   I really wish that you could see   I'm a far closer version to the   person you would want me to be   and by now you have forgotten but   consider this a guarantee -   you won't believe it's me   I've changed for the better   I really wish that you could see   I've changed for the better      I really wish that you could see   I'm a far closer version to the   person you would want me to be   and by now you have forgotten but   consider this a guarantee -   you won't believe it's me   I've changed for the better   I really wish that you could see
