I Want You To Change (Because You Want To Change)

Tryin', I'm not there, but I'm tryin'

And honestly, sometimes I think you want too much

Tryin', all this shit is tryin'

I'm not a movie hero, just a guy you say you love

Lyin', you say it's fine, you're lyin'

But how am I supposed to know that? I can't read that stuff

Tryin', can't you see me tryin'?

When did I wake up and find out tryin' isn't good enough?

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

Whoa-oh, ooh-ooh

Oh, I don't wanna tell you I'm leavin'

And I won't if you give me an inch

Oh, I want you to change 'cause you want to change

I know I tried, can you say you did?

Tryin' doesn't mean you're changing

Doesn't mean the whole thing's getting fixed

Just means you want it to

Tryin' doesn't mean it's better

Doesn't mean you're magically the person that I want from you

Tryin' doesn't make you perfect

Really, it's the minimum you do for those you love

Tryin', I can see you tryin'

And no one ever told you sometimes trying isn't good enough

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

Oh, I don't wanna tell you I'm leavin'

And I won't if you give me an inch

Oh, I want you to change 'cause you want to change

I know I tried, can you say you did?

And I hate you right now, and God, I hate that

You're the love of my life, but this ain't no way to live

I want you to change 'cause you want to change

I tried, can you say you did?

How am I supposed to know you're lyin'?

You're just meant to know

What else is there left to do but tryin'?

Tryin' harder, oh

I don't know how to be what you want from me

And I have a feeling soon you won't be wanting me

I can't believe you can't see when I'm lyin'

Just tell me what to do

I love you, and I'm sorry, and I'm tryin'

And I'm tryin' too

But I don't know how to be what you want from me

And I have a feeling soon you won't be wanting me
