I've Changed Lyrics

I wanted perfection
From every song I've ever sung
But that was wrong
I wanted something from every person
I've ever loved
But that was wrong

And I've changed
I've changed
I've reconsidered everything
I'm fine now
I'm fine now
I've laid the barrel in my mouth
And everything I thought before
I won't think anymore
I've changed
I've changed
I've changed

I wanted to be the greatest at everything
But I can't be
I wanted to be exempt from temptation
But I can't be

And I've changed
I've changed
I've reconsidered everything
I'm fine now
I'm fine now
I've laid the barrel in my mouth
And everything I thought before
I won't think anymore
I've changed
I've changed
I've changed

I wanted your love to be everlasting
But it isn't
I wanted life to be an easier proposition
But it isn't

And I've changed
I've changed
I've reconsidered everything
I'm fine now
I'm fine now
I've laid the barrel in my mouth
And everything I thought before
I won't think anymore
I've changed
I've changed
I've changed

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I think that this song is self-explanatory, but I sometimes get the impression that it is supposed to be ironic.

Sometimes when people are young they are idealists. They have unreasonably high expectations.

As they get older, however, they see and experience the real world with its heartbreak and difficulty and disappointment, and they become wiser.

This song is about being at that point, and realizing that happiness is possible anyway.
