Change Me
Justin Bieber Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ooh, as I'm ever gonna be
If you're with it, then I'm with it now
To accept all the responsibility
I go out of my way
To live by the words that you say
I don't wanna be the same, ooh, whoa
Maybe you could change me, ooh, whoa
Maybe you could be the light
That opens up my eyes
Make all my wrongs right
Change me, change me
Change me, oh, yeah
Don't fight fire with fire
If I'm screaming, talk quieter
Understanding and patience
Feel the pain that I'm facing
Be like serenity
Help me position my mind
Take a chance, make a difference in my life
Maybe you could change me (oh)
Maybe you could change me
(Maybe you could change me, ooh, hoo)
Maybe you could be the light (you could be the light)
That opens up my eyes (opens up my eyes)
Make all my wrongs right
Change me, change me
Change me, oh, yeah
Girl, I'm ready, if you're ready now
Ooh, is it ever gonna be?
If you're with it, then I'm with it now
The song starts with the singer expressing his willingness to change himself for the girl he loves. He is ready to take responsibility for his mistakes and try to live up to her expectations. He wants to be a better person and is willing to do whatever it takes to make that happen. The lyrics "Maybe you could change me" show that he is hoping that she can be the one to help him change, to be a better version of himself.
As the song progresses, he talks about the importance of communication in a relationship. He acknowledges that if he is angry and yelling, she should talk to him in a calmer tone to help diffuse the situation. He wants her to understand him and his struggles while also being patient with him. He wants to find peace and serenity in his relationship with her.
The chorus repeats the idea of her being the light that can change him. He wants her to open his eyes to a better way of living and to make all his past mistakes right. The bridge further emphasizes the idea of him wanting to change and become a better person, and he's hoping she can help him do that. The last verse repeats the opening lines again, showing his commitment to changing for her, and he wants to know if she will be with him throughout the journey.
