Changes
Elaine Lyrics

I cannot change you
I am aware that I cannot change who you are as a person.

You cannot change me
I am aware that you cannot change who I am as a person.

I may try for a few days but after a while I go back to my old ways
Although I may attempt to change myself for a short period of time, I always fall back into my old habits and patterns.

But baby give me time
I am asking for your patience as I work to improve myself.

I'm learning to be more patient
I am actively working on improving my patience.

I'm learning to trust you more
I am actively working on building more trust in our relationship.

So I'm gonna change for you
I am determined to make changes to myself for the betterment of our relationship.

I'll do better for you
I am going to try harder to be a better partner to you.

I know I said this before
I am aware that I have made promises like this in the past and have not followed through.

Know we been here before
We have been in this situation before where I promised to change and did not follow through.

But I mean it
I truly mean what I am saying and am committed to making real changes for you.

Oh, I mean it
I am emphasizing the sincerity of my statement.

I owe you so much more than my pain
I understand that I have caused you pain in the past and I want to make it up to you.

I owe you so much more than my past
I am committed to leaving my past mistakes behind and being a better partner to you moving forward.

You deserve it all
You deserve everything good in our relationship.

Fresh out the shower
I am letting you know that I am on my way to see you and have just showered.

I just slipped on that dress you said you really like
I am dressing in a way that I know you find attractive, in an effort to please you.

Last time was a mess, even though you let me down
Our last encounter was difficult, even though you may have disappointed me in some way.

I still think you're the best
Despite any past disappointments, I still love and appreciate you as my partner.

And I'm on my way to you
I am actively making an effort to be with you and work on our relationship.

Told my Uber to make it quick 'cause we got a lotta shit that we should handle
I am eager to get to you quickly because I know that we have a lot to work on in our relationship.

And don't forget to light the candles
I am preparing for a romantic evening with you, to try and strengthen our bond.

I don't know if this is right, but it feels right
I am unsure if what we are doing is the right thing, but it feels like it is.

Tell me we're alright (I mean it)
I am asking for reassurance that our relationship is okay and that we are on the right track.

This is right
Despite any doubts, I believe that we are doing the right thing in trying to make our relationship work.

You deserve it all
You deserve everything good in our relationship.
