I Can't Change It

I can sit here for hours and cry
I can sit and slowly watch time go by
But it won’t change anything
I can’t change everything

I can grind my life to a halt and stop
I can complain to everyone, right to the top
But that will never be enough to stop your fate
I can’t protect you from the hate

I can sit and be selfish, thinking of me
I can try my best to make you see
But it won’t stop me worrying about you
It won’t stop me from doing what I do

I can kill everyone who has ever caused you pain
I can scream and shout and dance in the rain
But it won’t stop the hurt you will feel
I can’t stop what is already real

I don’t have to be psychic to see how this will end
Until that time, I can only help and be a friend
But that doesn’t matter
Because nothing I ever do
Will change anything that will happen to you…
