Change

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

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

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

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

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)

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

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
