I break myself to pieces
For everybody else to take
They put it all back together
In the size and shape they wanna make

So I carry around the ashes
Of everything I was before
And lately it seems, the matches
Are the only book I'm reaching for

Cause I-I don't wanna be different anymore
Don't wanna be different anymore
I've changed

No I-I I'm trying to be different than before
I'm trying to be different than before I changed

When the water is finally still
I can see all the parts that are wrong
There's two sides to the mirror
And I'm trying to see which one I'm on

Cause I don't wanna be different anymore
I don't wanna be different anymore
I've changed
No I-I I'm trying to be different than before
I'm trying to be different than before I changed

There once was a lion somewhere inside
It's teeth have all fallen out
And though I keep trying to face my pride
I'll never make you proud

So I don't wanna be different anymore
I don't wanna be different anymore
I've changed

No I-I I'm trying to be different than before
I'm trying to be different than before I changed
