Customized Change

"Every version was a custom fit"

[Verse 1] I moved my furniture around For someone who liked open spaces Cut my hair twice for two different people Who both left anyway I’ve worn versions of myself Like seasonal collections Each one made to measure For whoever was watching

[Pre-Chorus] Change is the only constant, they say What they don’t mention Is how specific the changes get How personal the bill becomes

[Chorus] Every version was a custom fit Altered at the hem, taken in at the waist I was so busy being what was needed I forgot to leave room for the original shape Change is fine, change is growth, change is good But somewhere in all my renovations I misplaced the blueprint of who I was Before anyone asked me to rebuild

[Verse 2] I adjusted my opinions like furniture Softened the edges that made people uncomfortable Learned to shrink in one room And expand in another But you can only stretch fabric so far Before it pulls at the seams

[Pre-Chorus] I got so used to shifting the layout I stopped noticing what was mine to begin with and what I rearranged to stay

[Chorus] Every version was a custom fit Altered at the hem, taken in at the waist I was so busy being what was needed I forgot to leave room for the original shape Change is fine, change is growth, change is good But somewhere in all my renovations I misplaced the blueprint of who I was Before anyone asked me to rebuild

[Bridge] It’s not that they were wrong to need me different It’s not that I regret the changing It’s just I want to know which version is the one I’d have chosen on my own

[Chorus] Every version was a custom fit Altered at the hem, taken in at the waist I was so busy being what was needed I forgot to leave room for the original shape Change is fine, change is growth, change is good But somewhere in all my renovations I misplaced the blueprint of who I was Before anyone asked me to rebuild

[Final Chorus] Not every version has to be a custom fit Not every line needs adjusting into place I was so used to being what was needed I forgot I was allowed to take up space Change is still change, growth can still be good But I’m learning to question the edits to keep what was always mine before anyone touched the design

[Outro - quiet, honest, unresolved] But Still I’m… Still customizing Still adjusting Learning now to ask Who this one is for next…
