[Verse 1]
Hate casts a long shadow
I know that I lie in it
And let it rule my mind from time to time
Escapin' an old battle
That clings on like a vine to me
Whispers dirty lies in my ear

[Pre-Chorus 1]
I know we didn't start this fight
And I won't let it rule my heart tonight

[Chorus]
I can change
I can change
I can still change
I can still change

[Verse 2]
Tracin' an old pattern
Drawing the lines from where I am and from where I wanna be
Forget that old adage
That history continues to keep us from a world we wanna see

[Pre-Chorus 2]
I am scared that I won't get it right
But fear won't rule my heart tonight
[Chorus]
I can change
I can change
I can still change
I can still change

[Chorus]
I can change
I can change
I can still change
I can still change

[Chorus]
I can change
I can change
I can still change
I can still change

[Chorus]
I can change
I can change
I can still change
I can still change
