now i know it isn't easy
the things i've put you through
i have no right to do
you try so very hard to please me
but i'm remote from you
so rarely close to you

you've got me thinking for the first time
about the things i've said and done
now i see things much more clearly
feels like the change must [bad word] 
it's not as if i couldn't realise
i was hurting you
soul-searching you
sensing your bravery
feeling unsavoury most of the time
well have i been so blind?

you've got me thinking for the first time
about the things i've said and done
and now i see things much more clearly
feels like the change must [bad word] 
well you've no reason for believing
but i'm tired of all this self-deceiving

you've got me thinking for the first time
about the things i've said and done
and now i see things much more clearly
feels like the change must [bad word] 
you've got me thinking for the first time...
