Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You walk in late with that same old face
Shoes by the door, but you never stay
Little ones asking, "Where'd you go?"
I make the plates, then I eat alone
Your jacket's hanging on the chair
But your promise never makes it there
I keep saying, "Please come home"
But the silence keeps the house cold
[Pre-Chorus]
I’m tired of the same excuse
Tired of holding both our shoes
If you still love what we built
Then why does it feel like this?
[Chorus]
Why can’t you change for us?
For me and the kids, enough
Why can’t you change for us?
(For me and the kids)
I need your hands, I need your heart
Not half your love, not falling apart
Why can’t you change for us?
For me and the kids
[Verse 2]
Your daughter learned to fold her tears
Your boy don’t laugh like he used to here
They watch your shadow in the hall
Then ask me why you don’t call
I can forgive, but I can’t fake
I can’t keep patching what you break
If you want a door still open wide
You gotta step through, be on our side
[Pre-Chorus]
I’m tired of the same excuse
Tired of holding both our shoes
If you still love what we built
Then why does it feel like this?
[Chorus]
Why can’t you change for us?
For me and the kids, enough
Why can’t you change for us?
(For me and the kids)
I need your hands, I need your heart
Not half your love, not falling apart
Why can’t you change for us?
For me and the kids
[Bridge]
I’m not asking for a perfect man
Just somebody who can hold this plan
Show up early, stay all night
Choose your home, choose us this time
If you want a second chance
Then meet me where the children stand
No more leaving pieces on the floor
I need a father, I need more
[Chorus]
Why can’t you change for us?
For me and the kids, enough
Why can’t you change for us?
(For me and the kids)
I need your hands, I need your heart
Not half your love, not falling apart
Why can’t you change for us?
For me and the kids

Style
Pop-R&B with mid-tempo swung drums, warm sub-bass, and sparse piano in the verse; pre-chorus opens with rising synth pads and snapped doubles, chorus blooms with layered harmonies and a pulsing kick. Lead vocal is intimate and close-mic, with airy ad-libs, echo throws on the hook, and a few handclap accents into each lift. Clean, glossy mix with a tender, radio-ready shine.
