We've been going so long in circles That I'm dizzy and confused I can't help the way I love you You can't help it that you're you You've got problems I relate to I'm no therapist, I know There's an emptiness inside you But that means there's room to grow I keep saying that I'm only trying to help But it feels like I'm just talking to myself 'Cause birds don't learn to fly They just eventually spread their wings I think it's about time that I stop asking you to change I can only show the door, you gotta be the one to walk I already knew, but I guess that I forgot You can't make somebody something that they're not Well I brought you up to momma And she said just give it time It's the same ride that we're on Just different places in the line And you only have two choices To be patient or just go And I wanna stick around To find out where the story goes I keep saying that I'm only trying to help But it feels like I'm just talking to myself Pretty pictures keep on falling off the walls I can't blame you for the things that aren't your fault 'Cause birds don't learn to fly, they just eventually spread their wings I think it's about time that I stop asking you to change I can only show the door, you gotta be the one to walk I already knew, but I guess that I forgot...

You can't make somebody something that they're not
