Lyrics
You're tellin' me that you want a change of scenery
Cuz you've spent the past few years livin' in misery
You seem to be puttin' blame on everybody but yourself
And now you wanna walk in the shoes of somebody else
CHORUS
You can change your name, the color of your hair
Change your face, all the clothes you wear
But it won't change what you're trying to hide
It won't change who you are inside
You can change your job, your house and your car
But it won't stop until you change your heart
It won't change what you're trying to hide
It won't change who you are inside
You think you can fix your problems oh so easily
Your solution won't make them disappear magically
No matter how many times you wanna try something new
You need to make a bigger change than just what you do
CHORUS
You can change the time, change the place
But all you get's a temporary escape
Fill your mind with truth instead
Of all the lies that are running through your head
