How Can I Change Your Mind?
I hope you know that I never meant to hurt you
Hurting you is the last thing I wanted to do
But I did what I thought was right
Even though it almost got us killed
I hope that one day you'll see
That I tried to do what was right
And that it's killing me to know that
It killed the most precious thing to me
But if I had to make the choice again
I would make it exactly the same
Please believe me when I say
I did not forsee this happening to us
We have something that I hope can be repaired
Just let me have a chance to relieve
Some of the heartbreak I see in your eyes
When you look at me, even if it is only for a second
That would mean more to me than anything
And I hope you know of my loyalty to you
And all that is right in this world on Voyager
That we call home, the people that we share as family
Just give me one more chance to prove to you
That I share your heartbreak
When you look away from me
And say
You're sorry, but there is nothing you can do
To help me ease this burden I carry
You have helped me enough, but now you must go
And you walk away without so much as a smile
Tears in your eyes
Just let me have one more chance
To prove to you my loyalty
And to try to change your mind
For I will stand by your side
For forever more
