There you are with your perfect way
You’ve got that little shine in your eyes
To hear one word would make my day
But there’s no room for me in your life

Oh you’ve got me down on my knees
Oh and in my mind I can see
How perfect everything could be
But you won’t give us a try

If I could change your mind
How would you want me
Would you say you need me
Cause I need you now

I try to move on but your perfect way
Has got this little child asking why
But this world keeps spinning
As my heart stops beating
Is there still no room inside

Oh you’ve got me down on my knees
Oh and in my mind I can see
How perfect everything could be
But you won’t give us a try

If I could change your mind
How would you want me
Would you say you need me
Cause I need you now

If I could change your mind
(Please tell me I’m not the only one)
(Please help me believe I’m not the only one)

If I could change your mind
If I could change your mind
How would you want me
Would you say you need me
Cause I need you now

If I could change your mind
How would you hold me
Would you stay forever
Or just leave me here to drown

If I could change your mind
(Change your mind)
If I could change your mind
(Change your mind)

    Memory:The song is kind of self explanatory which is part of what makes it so beautiful. I've been listening to this on repeat for the last few days because on Friday I told the person I liked that I liked them as more than a friend. We have been friends for a long time and recently everyone's been saying we're almost perfect for each other. It took all the courage I had to say that to him and he told me he 'wasn't looking for that sort of thing' which of course just means he didn't feel the same way. It hurt so much and I can't stop thinking about him. This song sums up everything right now. Boyce avenue are amazing xx

    General Comment: i recently started talking to my sis. i seen her two or three times my whole life. our dad never had anything to do with her, which left me in this terrible situation. this song reminds me of all the dead-beat mom's and dad's out there, every word. you can look at it however you want to, especially the 'lil child asking why part. my sis is about to become a teacher. there are two sides to every story. and there is some good is life after all. is there still no room inside?

    General Comment:LOVE THIS SONG SOO MUCH, glad to see some comments on this song. I agree with the comments above, It's about loving someone and maybe they don't feel the same way anymore... it's about layin all the cards on the table basically and taking the risk of saying ' I love you ' this is how I feel and I need you in my life. He's singing out for the other person to tell him how to change so they feel the same way.

    Would you stay forever
    Or just leave me here to drown

    most powerful lines of the song i think, because it sends out an echo.. hes placing the ball in the other persons court, which sometimes can be a dangerous thing to do wouldn't it be lovely to have a guy sing this to you girls?? lol


    amazing
