[Verse]
Tears fill up my eyes
I'm washed away with sorrow
And somewhere in my mind
I know there's no tomorrow
I see that you're leaving soon
I guess you've had your fill
But if I can't change your mind, then no one will
And all throughout all the years
I've never strayed from you my dear
You suspect I'm somewhere else
You're feeling sorry for yourself
Leaving with a broken heart
I love you even still
But if I can't change your mind, then no one will
If I can't change your mind
Even though my heart keeps breaking
Don't you know that I'll be waiting here for you
I hope you see I'm dedicated
Look how long that I have waited
If you come back you will find a different person
If you change your mind

[Outro]
How can I explain away somethin' I haven't done
And if you can't trust in me now, you'll never trust in anyone
With all the crazy doubts you've got
I love you even still
But if I can't change your mind, then no one will
If I can't change your mind [x2]
Wish I could change your mind

Train is an American rock band from San Francisco, formed in 1993. The band currently consists of Patrick Monahan (lead vocals), Luis Maldonado (guitar), Hector Maldonado (bass, vocals), Drew Shoals (drums), Jerry Becker (keyboards, guitar), Sakai Smith (backup vocals), and Nikita Houston (backup vocals).

With a lineup that included original members Monahan, Rob Hotchkiss, Jimmy Stafford, Scott Underwood, and Charlie Colin, the band achieved mainstream success with their debut album Train, which was released in 1998 with the hit “Meet Virginia”. Train’s 2001 album, Drops of Jupiter contained the lead single “Drops of Jupiter (Tell Me)”, which won two Grammy Awards in 2002. The album was certified double platinum in the United States and Canada and remains the band’s best-selling album to date.

Train’s third studio album, My Private Nation, released in 2003, was certified platinum in the United States with the hit “Calling All Angels”. Following the departures of Hotchkiss and Colin, the band released their fourth album, For Me, It’s You in 2006, with Brandon Bush (keyboards) and Johnny Colt (bass). Despite a generally positive reception from critics, the album was commercially unsuccessful. Because of this, Train went on a two-year hiatus from recording any new music.
