I Could Try To Change

[Verse 1] Like a knife to the chest when you grinned And said that I'm easy to please 'Cause I've been told that I'm difficult Since I learned how to speak Were you lying just to save me the trouble? (Where you lying, lying?) I'll keep quiet just to stay in your bubble [Chorus] I could try to change, but it seems too easy I'd hate to get your hopes up, babe Do you blame me for keeping you at arm's length? Just wanna keep you sane [Post-Chorus] Don't think too hard, pick me apart You won't get too far, I've had a head start [Verse 2] You wear me down like a stone Until my edges soften Like the one you had as a kid That lived in your favourite pocket Are you trying to wait it out? (Are you trying, trying?) Play the long game but you're losing now [Chorus] I could try to change, but it seems too easy I'd hate to get your hopes up, babe Do you blame me for keeping you at arm's length? Just wanna keep you sane [Bridge] Will you wait for me 'til I stop this? You know I do it on purpose I don't want to be so guarded (You know I do it on purpose) [Chorus] I could try to change, but it seems too easy I'd hate to get your hopes up, babe Do you blame me for keeping you at arm's length? Just wanna keep you, it isn't the same And it's your decision to make Whether you leave or stay Do you blame me for keeping you out of my way? Just wanna keep you sane
