I Wear The Face Lyrics

[Verse 1]
It used to be that, life was just a game
Got used to dancing, each step the same
Well I got so tired, so disillusioned with it all
Standing at the threshold, waiting for the call

[Chorus]
I wear the face of change
It never looks the same
I wear the face of change, my face is changing

[Verse 2]
I heard someone talking, on the telephone
A distant stranger, in a monotone
I don't know your name but I, recognize the face
We were once the same but, in another place

[Chorus]
I wear the face of change
It never looks the same (I wear the face)
I wear the face of change, my face is changing
It never looks the same, I wear the face

I wear the face of change (I wear the face)
It never looks the same (oh, oh)
I wear the face of change, look at my face, it's changing
It never looks the same, I wear the face

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
