I guess this song is about the parts of me that are still rough and what I am and am not willing to adjust for people, knowing how far I've come from where I used to be.
You don’t have to cry
I’ll tell you where I’m going
And if I come back dry
Then I guess I lied
If I don’t say
Because I don’t know then
I am that way
But I’m not too big to change
You can see I’m big enough
But the act might not be
I’m not gonna be
Something I don’t wanna
Alternate me
At least not for free
If you need me now
Then you gotta say so
If you don’t write it down
I might not know how
You can see I’m big enough
But the act might not be
And you gotta trust that I know how to change
But some things are mine
Some things I won’t rearrange
And that’s fine
I know what I need to assuage
But you gotta trust that I know how to change
If I make you sad
Promise I don’t mean it
But understand
I am hard to plan
And I’m easy to love
Harder to put up with
Need a stronger touch
But sometimes not that much
And you can see I’m strong enough
But the act might not be.
And you gotta trust that I know how to change
But some things are mine
Some things I won’t rearrange
And that’s fine
I know what I need to assuage
But you’ve gotta trust that I know how to change

these lyrics are very tender. you've got a real talent for exploring uncomfortable emotions in a way that's thoughtful yet unflinching. really great vocal/keys performance here too.

Yeah, really like your electric piano noodling. Very nice. (That was my instrument back in my rock 'n roll days when dinosaurs roamed the earth).
Your usual great job on lyrics and vocal. VERY nice!

Catchy little keyboard part! I like the phrasing of your verse lyrics.
Maybe the title should be 'Might Not be'.
