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?
