What I Cannot Change

[Verse 1]

I know what makes me comfortable

And I know what makes me tick

And when I need to get my way I know how to pour it on thick

Cream and sugar in my coffee

Right away when I awake

I face the day and pray to God I won't make the same mistakes

Oh, the rest is out of my hands

[Chorus]

I will learn to let go what I cannot change

I will learn to forgive what I cannot change

I will learn to love what I cannot change

But I will change, I will change

Whatever I, whenever I can

[Verse 2]

Yeah, I don't know my father

Or my mother well enough

It seems like every time we talk, we can't get past the little stuff

The pain is self-inflicted

I know it's not good for my health

But it's easier to please the world than it is to please myself

Oh, the rest is out of my hands

[Chorus]

I will learn to let go what I cannot change

I will learn to forgive what I cannot change

I will learn to love what I cannot change

But I will change, I will change

Whatever I, whenever I can

[Bridge]

Right now, I can't care about how everyone else will feel

I have enough hurt of my own to heal

[Chorus]

I will learn to let go what I cannot change

I will learn to forgive what I cannot change

I will learn to let go what I cannot change

I will learn to forgive what I cannot change

I will learn to love what I cannot change

But I will change, I will change

Whatever I, whenever I can
