I Don't Want To Change You Lyrics

For me, this song is about desperation. The kind you feel when you have broken up with someone. Its like he is chanting to himself that he doesn't want to change the person he loves as a mantra to reassure himself more than the person. It is like realizing that the differences are great but the hurt of losing is even greater. Hence all the "I can"s in the song.
