Yea

No matter wat they do
Likewise, the artist asserts the remaining strength of their relationship despite outside interference.

(They don't want

To change)
This line is unfinished, but the most obvious meaning is that the opposition doesn't want the singer or their partner to change their ways (to become different people?).

Hey
The artist uses this exclamation to introduce their final point.
