I Want You To Change (Because You Want To Change) (feat. Bear's Den)

Maisie Peters

Compositor: Joe Rubel / Maisie Peters

Trying
Not there, but I'm trying
And honestly, sometimes I think you want too much
Trying
All this shit is trying
I'm not a movie hero, just a guy you say you love

Lying
Say "it's fine" , you're lying
But how am I supposed to know that I can't read that stuff

Trying
Can't you see me trying?
When did I wake up and found out trying isn't good enough?
Oh, oh

Oh I don't wanna tell you I'm leaving
And I won't if you give me an inch
Oh, I want you to change because you want to change
I know I tried, can you say you did?

Trying
Doesn't mean you're changing
Doesn't mean the whole thing's getting fixed
Just mean you want it to
Trying
Doesn't mean it's better
Doesn't mean you're magically the person that I want from you

Trying
Doesn't make you perfect
Really it's the minimum you do for those you love
Trying
I can see you trying
And no one ever told you sometimes trying isn't good enough?
Oh, oh

Oh I don't wanna tell you I'm leaving
And I won't if you give me an inch
Oh I want you to change because 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 because you want to change
I tried, can you say you did?

How am I supposed to know you're lying?
You're just meant to know
What else is there left to do but trying?
Trying hard to hold
I don't know how to be what you want from me
And I have the feeling soon you won't be wanting me

I can't believe you can't see when I'm lying
Just tell me what to do
I love you and I'm sorry and I'm trying
And I'm trying too
But I don't know how to be what you want from me
And I have the feeling soon you won't be wanting me
