Change

[Verse 1]

I can't smell the roses

No, I haven't for some time

And I guess I'm striking poses

Every time I step outside

I keep on running

Try to beat it with a bottle

I thought four was plenty

But now they're all empty

[Chorus]

I pulled back those curtains

And I let the sun in again

It's like I saw morning for the first time

And she welcomes me like a friend

And when you spend so long hurting

You can forget to believe in grace

Too many conversations with the burden

Got me crying out loud for change

[Verse 2]

Broken bathroom mirror

I've not used it for a while

Been avoiding my reflection

That's a symptom of denial

I recognized myself today

Little steps, little steps we take

I threw away the empties

Boy, there were plenty

[Chorus]

I pulled back those curtains

And I let the sun in again

It's like I saw morning for the first time

And she welcomes me like a friend

And when you spend so long hurting

You can forget to believe in grace

Too many conversations with the burden

Got me crying out loud for change

[Bridge]

I don't know where this goes

And I don't know how it ends

All I know is that I'm changing

And I want her back again

I don't know where this goes (I don't where this road is taking me)

And I don't know how it ends (and I don't know if I'll ever find my peace)

All I know is that I'm changing (I know something's changed in me)

And I want her back again (and it happened when)

[Alternative Chorus]

I pulled back those curtains

And I let the sun in again

It's like I saw morning for the first time

And she welcomes me like a friend

And when you spend so long hurting

You can forget to believe in grace

Too many conversations with the burden

Got me crying out loud for change

[Chorus]

I pulled back those curtains

And I let the sun in again

It's like I saw morning for the first time

And she welcomes me like a friend

And when you spend so long hurting

You can forget to believe in grace

Too many conversations with the burden

Got me crying out loud for change
