lyrics

I'm not gonna to try to change anyone but myself
I'm not gonna to try to change you, I'm through
I'm not gonna to try to change anyone but myself
I'm gonna try, I'm gonna choose my truths

believed em when they told me i could do, anything i choose, i put my mind to
now it sounds cruel and funny as i'm runin out of time and money
so much less in within our control than I knew in my youth, but now i know the truth
we don't choose what we believe for a long long time, but when we do it's divine

I'm not gonna to try to change anyone but myself
I'm not gonna to try to change you, I'm through
I'm not gonna to try to change anyone but myself
I'm gonna try, I'm gonna choose my truths

we're all in way over our heads, taking our meds until we're dead
thought that there was something i could say but it doesn't work that way, so i'll save the cliches
i could waste my time trying to change your mind, by why? it's written in the sky
no one wants to hear what you think they should do, we just want someone who's true

I'm not gonna to try to change anyone but myself
I'm not gonna to try to change you, I'm through
I'm not gonna to try to change anyone but myself
I'm gonna try, I'm gonna choose my truths

so, i go out and i sit in the sun, close my eyes, turn my hands up the sky
i sit real still for a while, breath real slow, forget everything i know
i see the world as it will be, without me and my misery
unconsciousness connects me to everything else and for a second i get let go of myself

I'm not gonna to try to change anyone but myself
I'm not gonna to try to change you, I'm through
I'm not gonna to try to change anyone but myself
I'm gonna try, I'm gonna choose my truths
