Change The World
Westlife(西城男孩) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Since you've gone, well it
Seems like everything is wrong
And deep inside, I know that I've
Lost much more than pride
Well happiness is getting further away
Girl I miss more than words can say
I need a miracle now
So tell me

How can I change the world
'Cos I sure can't change your mind
Where's the miracle I need now
Got to get to you somehow
'Cos I can't change the world
I can't change the world
No I can't change the world

Losing you, well it's been the hardest
Thing to do
So I close my eyes and tell myself
That somehow I'll survive
Well you gave me heaven then you
Took it away
Girl I miss you more with each
Passing day
I need a miracle now
So tell me...

How can I change the world
'Cos I sure can't change your mind
Where's the miracle I need now
Got to get you somehow

And it's so sad you're leaving me
Just so you can find yourself
And it's so sad that you just can't see
I love you more than life itself

No I can't change the world

How can I change the world
'Cos I sure can't change your mind
Where's the miracle I need now
Got to get to you somehow
'Cos I can't change the world
Got to get you somehow
No I can't change the world




I can't change the world
No I can't change the world

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Westlife's "Change the World" express the feelings of heartbreak and helplessness after a breakup, with the singer wishing to reverse the situation and bring back the lost love. The opening lines acknowledge the chaos that follows the departure of a loved one, and how it affects every aspect of life. The singer then admits to having lost more than just pride, implying the emotional toll of the separation. As the days go by, the distance between the two only increases, and the singer feels helpless and in need of a miracle to revive the relationship. In desperation, the singer asks how they can change the world, knowing that changing their former partner's mind is out of the question.


The chorus repeats the title phrase, "How can I change the world," but this time emphasizes that changing the world is impossible without getting their loved one back. The singer longs for a miracle that will bring them together again and make things right. In the second verse, the lyrics emphasize the anguish of losing someone who once meant everything, and how it's become the hardest thing to deal with. The singer tries to convince themselves they will survive the heartbreak, but misses their ex with every passing day. The final chorus repeats the same sentiment, longing for a miracle to bring them back together, proving that while the world may seem impossible to change, only their lost love can restore happiness.
