Intro to Changing Shape Songtext
von Grace Petrie & The Benefits Culture

I′ve come to show you every scar my soul achieved since birth
To offer up my heart and all its contents to the earth
So you can give it all a price tag and tell me what I'm worth
But I′m just trying to make you love me

I used to think I wrote my words to try and make a spark
To light the way for others who were struggling in the dark
But now I know I only write them in the hope they'll leave a mark
Yeah I'm just trying to make you love me

So tie me to a chair I want to climb the walls
I opened up the floodgates and I got waterfalls
Took everything that I learned and I sung it out on tape
For I used to be a child and now I′m just a different shape
Yeah I used to be a child and now I′m just a different shape

And laying awake in bed last night it hit me in a flash
The reason that I wear my pain like badges on a sash
The reason that I wear it like a forehead cross of ash
Is I'm trying to make you love me


To every long lost friend I never meant to drift apart
To every single in crowd that I′ll never be a part
To every enemy and every girl that broke my heart
I was just trying to make you love me

So tie me to a chair I want to climb the walls
I opened up the floodgates and I got waterfalls
I took all of my broken heart and I sung it out on tape
Because once I fell in love and I fell out a different shape
Oh every time I fell in love I fell out a different shape

For every time I've ever felt myself under attack
For everything I wish I was and all I′ll ever lack
Especially for you folks who are talking at the back
Can't you see I′m dying to make you love me

But I could use this microphone for stories not like this
Where I'm not such a victim you know I'll never take the risk
′Cause when the curtain falls tomorrow calls and I′m just a narcissist
Who's still trying to make you love me

So tie me to a chair I want to climb the walls
I opened up the floodgates and I got waterfalls
I took everything that I had and I sung it out on tape
Everybody else is ageing I think that I′m just changing shape
Oh everybody else is growing It feels like I'm just changing shape
