lyrics

If I don’t seem too excited by the things you suggest
I’d say I’m sorry but I’d be a liar
You can bitch, you can whine, you can say what you like
You can write it on the moon with fire
I’ve had enough of your shit, I’m sick of dealing with it
I’m always being defined by you
And so I’m making a move, you probably wouldn’t approve
Being decent isn’t something you do

I can change
I can change

I am the product of a life spent living a lie
And I’m not doing that any more
There is an itch that is long overdue to be scratched
I should have made good decisions before
Don’t tell me what I should do, that I should think it all through
I’m not the person that you want me to be
And if this sounds like “goodbye”, maybe you’ll give it a try
I’m trading you so that I can be me

I can change
I can change
I can change
I can change
