Change

I tried so hard to be your perfect child
but in your eyes I turned out wild
Yeah, sometimes I did lie
but Mom, I really did try
and I'm still trying to change to this day
Trying to change my horrible ways
^
trying to be a better son
trying to be a better brother 
but problems just flow like water
My eyes are burning from the tears
but now 
I will try if you do too
'cause Mommy, I'm trying to change for you.
