lyrics:

Now I know it's hard to see
How I feel
When change is here to stay.


But I beg you, please don't leave
I am real
And that won't go away.

I live out here and my life is a fake
But there's a growing dream I just can't shake
You'd see who I am behind the facade
But I'd probably make you scream "my god".

I don't want that but I'm out of place.
The thought of terror there on your face-
My hooves turn to stone and my tongue to steel
Each time I try to make the reveal.

But I love your voice and I love your eyes,
And I hate who I am and I hate these lies.
Can't pretend that this is fine,
But the fate of the town is now on the line...

I'm just a changeling
Whatever fate brings
I'm just a changeling
That's what they're telling me.

I'm just a changeling
Whatever fate brings
I'm still the same I was
Born to make believe.

Believe believe believe believe believe...
Life drags on like I'm in hell
Even so,
Your smile's all I see...

Chrysalis says I'm doing well...
I don't know.
Is love just what I need?

I bide my time watch the day approach,
As the hive I knew will soon encroach...
This attitude is ambivalent
I hope- I pray they'll give, relent.

But Chrysalis gets whatever she must
And the lonely bug is the one that's crushed
I can't be here when your heart is broken-
But you stop me with these two words spoken:

"Don't leave." I don't wear sleeves,
But if I did, I would guess my heart would be
Right there attached, and that is that.
It's no return on 1 2 3 4

I'm just a changeling
Whatever fate brings
I'm just a changeling
That's what they're telling me.

I'm just a changeling
Whatever fate brings
I'm still the same I was
Born to make believe.
