Day 7: You Don’t Want To
About The Song
It’s taken me so long to figure out that just because a man has the potential to be a great man it does not mean he is or will ever be a great man. We are who we are and without the internal drive to be better, to do better, to learn and grow, then we simply won’t.
In my experience there are a lot of people who don’t want to do the work. We don’t get to make other peoples choices for them. That’s why it’s important that we choose the right people to have in our life. We can’t choose them and then hope they’ll be better.
We can only truly be happier, brighter, wiser and kinder people than we are by learning how to be happier, brighter, wiser and kinder people. The emphasis is on the learning. No external addition will change an internal character defect. If we are the kind of person that finds fault with things then no matter what happens in our life we will find fault. If we are the kind of person who is cruel and selfish then no matter who comes into our life or how much we love them we will still be the same cruel and selfish person again eventually.
Unless you want to do the work… but some people just don’t want to.

Lyrics
You Don’t Want To
If I didn’t see your face, on that February day
I’d wonder if you’d ever cared at all
And you just walk away, cos you don’t wanna change
Your apathy still keeps you comfortable
But I swear I saw a glimpse of a man that you could be
Swear I saw the colours light your face
But you don’t feel, like I feel cos you don’t want to
You don’t want to
And you won’t try, and you won’t fight,
Cos you don’t want to. You don’t want to.
You’ve convinced yourself, not to ask for help
Maybe you’re too scared of what you’d find
But somewhere deep inside, the part of you you pushed aside
Is waiting for the day you change your mind
But you don’t feel, like I feel cos you don’t want to
You don’t want to
And you won’t try, and you won’t fight,
Cos you don’t want to. You don’t want to.
And there’s nothing I can do or say
When you’re buying each excuse you make
But I can’t stand by and watch you go to waste
When you don’t feel, like I feel cos you don’t want to
You don’t want to
And you won’t try, and you won’t fight,
Cos you don’t want to. No. You don’t want to.
