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?

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?
