Trying to Change

I’ve been trying to change you since the day we met,
It’s been fifteen years and I haven’t seen any progress yet.
 
And if you’re honest with yourself you’ve tried to change me too,
Tried to make me just a little bit more like you.
 
I’ve tried to get you to take on more responsibility,
And you’ve tried forcing me to be a bit more carefree.
 
I’ve tried to get you to focus, to take it slow,
You want me to join you – always on the go.
 
They say opposites attract but all we do is fight,
Spend our time convincing the other we’re the one who’s right.
 
I’ve been trying to change you since the day we met,
It’s been fifteen years and I haven’t seen any progress yet.
 
And if you’re honest with yourself you’ve tried to change me too,
Tried to make me just a little bit more like you.
 
 But if we look close enough we’ll see the reason we fell in love,
Is because we each bring something to the relationship the other has none of.
 
Because I need your impulsivity and you need my drive,
You’re better with my stability and with your enthusiasm I thrive.
 
Everything I’m missing, you have – you make me whole,
And what you lack, I add to nourish your soul.
 
I’ve been trying to change you since the day we met,
It’s been fifteen years and I haven’t seen any progress yet.
 
And if you’re honest with yourself you’ve tried to change me too,
Tried to make me just a little bit more like you.
 
But you’ll never change no matter what I do,
And thank God – I’m glad you’ll always stay you.
