(X2)  (LISTEN TO SONG FOR RHYTHM)
All  the mistakes I made  I made because
 I didn't know myself  very well
And  by this stage  I feel like
 I really shouldn't know  myself
I'm  forced into  a sponsored silence
Where  I'm only paid
 If I don't say
 What I want to say
  Open  up your eyes  and see
  I can't throw  it all  away
   Open up your eyes  and see
  I can't give  it all  away
  I  couldn't even care  what you say
  Change
  You changed  everything
  And blame  it on your obvious ways
 (SAME AS BEFORE)
 I gamble my praises
 And threw the jukebox from my favorite phrases
 As we cling to the nightclub walls
 We whisper the words, we whisper them wrong
 So we screamed out the wrong words
 Into our own song
 And with a kiss that tasted like drugs
 Which taste like we'll never ever make it home
 Open up your eyes and see
 I can't throw it all away
 Open up your eyes and see
 I can't give it all away
 I couldn't even care what you say
 Change
 You changed everything
 And blame it on your obvious ways
Throw  me around
 First you've got to calm  me down
 Don't you think you  should calm me down
 Before you throw me around
You  throw me into
 another move I can't  remake
  It changes  everything
 Open up your arms  and say
  Give  it all  away
  I  couldn't even care  what you say
  Change
  You changed  everything
  And blame  it on your obvious ways
