[Verse 1] I’m annoying myself But it seems I can’t stop Every time I hit rock bottom I find it’s only the top Of the next new depth I’m likely to discover Hold your breath again Looks like we’re going under I’m over it Or at least I’d like to be I feel the person I became Isn’t even really me I wish I hated myself Just a little more You have to have the bootstraps To pick yourself up off the floor [pre-chorus] You see the problem isn’t really with me… …it’s them who can’t seem to see… [chorus] Change is only good in a pretty rear view mirror Far from the unknown And even farther from the fear Change demands of me Something I’ve never truly owned I’ve borrowed, begged and…well… there’s a reason I’m alone. change is just a promise Quoted on newcomers chips Truth is hard to swallow Best to start with little sips Yes, It sounds real good But comfort weighs more than fear I’m near sighted and it’s blurry In that cold, cold rear view mirror [verse 2] I’d prefer not to lie to you So it’s best to let it be You can take your pick of excuses And matching apologies I hate the way I treat you I know that you deserve much more. I fold my convictions like a quilt And place them gently on your floor. [pre chorus] You see I know that I’m the problem It breaks my heart too…it breaks my heart too! [chorus] Change is only good in a pretty rear view mirror Far from the unknown And even farther from the fear Change demands of me Something I’ve never truly owned I’ve borrowed, begged and…well… there’s a reason I’m alone. change is just a promise Quoted on newcomers chips Truth is hard to swallow Best to start with little sips Yes, It sounds real good But comfort weighs more than fear I’m near sighted and it’s blurry In that cold, cold rear view mirror [bridge] The best part of me would know what to say to make you understand. I wish he was here To tell me what to tell you. I’m sorry my friend. [chorus] Change is only good in a pretty rear view mirror Far from the unknown And even farther from the fear Change demands of me Something I’ve never truly owned I’ve borrowed, begged and…well… there’s a reason I’m alone. change is just a promise Quoted on newcomers chips Truth is hard to swallow Best to start with little sips Yes, It sounds real good But comfort weighs more than fear I’m near sighted and it’s blurry In that cold, cold rear view mirror [final chorus- outro] Change is only good in a pretty rear view mirror Far from the unknown And even farther from the fear Change demands of me Something I’ve never truly owned I’ve borrowed, begged and…well… there’s a reason I’m alone. change is just a promise Quoted on newcomers chips Truth is hard to swallow Best to start with little sips Yes, It sounds real good But comfort weighs more than fear I’m near sighted and it’s blurry In that cold, cold rear view mirror
