We're traveling down two different roads
In worlds so far apart
You want me yet there's something else
Before me in your heart
You're wanting me to change my life
The way you're living yours
But I can't change, I see no way
You wanted me before

If you don't want me like I am
Then please don't pity me
If you can't change a little bit
Then why not set me free
If we can't live together then
It's best we live apart
You go your way and I'll go mine
We'll both make brand new starts

There's nothing we can do it seems
We'll never get along
With you believing like you do
You say I live so wrong
But I can't change my way of life
I've lived it much too long
You'll either take me like I am
Or I'll go on alone

So either say you want my love
Or take the way you live
Remember though before you get
You've got to learn to give
So if it's change my life or go
Then go it's gonna be
'Cause I can't change my life when you want something more than me
