"New Face" lyrics

"New Face"

You said I had a new face
With more people taking note of it
It's found it's own place
The old one's more to your taste
What else to say before you quit?
I've got a new face

If it feels like I've changed
Well I hope that I have
Wouldn't do it for you
Our story's on stage
Over before it began
Had it all thought through

From someone so close
What went wrong for it to end like this?
Had you been taking notes?
Flip the switch, now the fault is all mine
Cut the stitch, I'll be yours to design
Don't be alarmed, wake me up before 9
Hold me in your arms, tell me I'll be fine

The pain's there but the scars are all gone
It ain't fair where the fuck did you come from?
I'll show restraint until when we're all done
But if you're here again well then you can come and get some
Message now, and let's hope it falls flat
Put me down, then go practice your a-act
You're hearing sense and you're feeling attacked
Falling on your friends well you are not all that

If it feels like I've changed
Well I hope that I have
Wouldn't do it for you
I did it for her
Our story's on stage
Over before it began
Had it all thought through
You're not what you were
