[Verse 2]
Well, now I don't know what to speak
Writing a verse is worse than you think

I thought that this was something different than before
Now we're changing shape inside your brain and starting to reform, oh lord
Now I'm speaking words without thinking before

I wanted to do what I said that I'd do
Now I'm making things up and not thinking it through, so true
It was so legit but it's nothing new
(I knew that I wouldn't change)
