I took a hammer I brought it down; I took a scalpel to my heart And turned it inside out I turned the light off I closed the door; Let go the actor playing my Role in my life before I returned to somewhere that I hated once And found how much I'd changed And in my mind, reviewed my time And conquered all the hurt that still remained Oh it's changing; oh it's changing now I wrecked my body once Destroyed my soul; I dug around too hard To excavate an empty hole No more unfaithful now; No more unkind Impatient ignorance When facing all this fleeting time I returned to somewhere that I hated once And found how much I'd changed And in my mind, reviewed my time And conquered all the hurt that still remained Oh it's changing; oh it's changing now With my hand I took a hammer Brought it down and made it better With my hand I took a hammer Brought it down and made it better With my hand I took a hammer Brought it down and made it better With my hand I took a hammer Brought it down and made it better
