This site is supposed to be about interpreting the lyrics...there's about a zillion other sites where people can complain about how Sufjan's "changed." Personally, I love it.
Anyhow, the lyrics: most are correct above (there's a few spots it's off) except the entire ending is missing:
When I die, when I die
I'll rot
but when I live, when I live
I'll give it all I've got
(repeats)
Gloria, Gloria
Victoria, Victoria
It lives in all of us
(repeats)
I've lost the will to fight
?
I have known you for just a little while
I feel I must be wearing my welcome
I must be moving on
For my intentions, were good intentions
I could have loved you
I could have changed you
I wouldn't be so
I wouldn't feel so
Consumed by selfish thoughts
I'm sorry if I seem self-effacing
Consumed by selfish thoughts
It's only that I
Still love you deeply
It's all the love I've got

I think the line you couldn't get is...
