Changing Me
Changing Me
I have changed myself for you
You wanted something I am not
So I changed to make you love me
I gave it not a second thought
The passing of time has eroded
The lie that I’ve been living
And you don’t even have a clue
The sacrifice that I’ve been giving
Well as it turns out my dear
You are not at all like I thought
And I think you should really know
What you thought is simply not
I am not like you think at all
I am so sorry I can’t be that
I have so many faults and failures
And that is just a fact
So I am ready now to walk away
And try to be who I really should be
And no longer lie and deceive you
Because I just would like to be me
Now you have heard my tale of woe
And you still want me to stay?
You really want me to be me?
You said , “yes that’s the only way”
