LeAnn Rimes - What I Cannot Change Lyrics






I know what makes me comfortable
I know what makes me tick
And when I need to get my way I know how to pour it on thick
Cream and sugar in my coffee
Right away when I awake
I face the day and pray to God I won't make the same mistakes
Oh the rest is out of my hands

I will learn to let go what I cannot change
I will learn to forgive what I cannot change
I will learn to love what I cannot change
But I will change, I will change
Whatever I, whenever I can

I don't know my Father
Or my Mother well enough
Seems like every time we talk we can't get past the little stuff
The pain is self inflicted
I know it's not good for my health
But it's easier to please the world than it is to please myself
Oh the rest is out of my hands

I will learn to let go what I cannot change
I will learn to forgive what I cannot change
I will learn to love what I cannot change
But I will change, I will change
Whatever I, whenever I can

Right now I can't care about how everyone else will feel
I have enough hurt of my own to heal

I will learn to let go what I cannot change
I will learn to forgive what I cannot change
I will learn to love what I cannot change
But I will change, I will change
Whatever I, whenever I can

    I remember the first time I heard this song. The rawness of the lyrics and Leann's voice dropping and soaring had me in tears by the time it ended. 6 years on, it still stops me in my tracks. Deep respect to the songwriter's for this humbling, soul-baring track.

  4. k.... ....

    Perfect song for Al-Anon. Also "Better Boat" by Kenny Chesney. Cool how these are coming one after another.

  5. A.... ....

    My favorite by LeAnn.

  16. R.... W....

    she''s had her ups and downs (and that's strictly her business; certainly not mine) but her voice has remained the same, angelic

    With all respect to songwriter darrell brown, was the title inspired by Reinhold Nieburhr's: "God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference." Sure. Why not?
    Whatta terrific voice.

  17. A.... S....

    This song definitely should've had more than a million views....♪this is unfortunate...

    A.... S....
