I Can Never Be (what You Want Me To Be)

Shooting star across my sky

I wanted to keep you in my heaven

"i will be anything you want!" i said

"i will live into your dream just to see you smile"

"be my baby -- i'll be your crusade

Your clown-lover, renegade

I'll be anything you want if it will make you stay"

-- oh but it could never be that way cause:



Chorus:

I can never be what you want

I can never be what you want me to be



The great pretender inside your head

A king wearing someone else's crown

Sacrificed who i am so that this heart could be fed

I spend so much time keeping myself underground

You know i love you but i am shaking inside

I know i'm not going to leave here alive 'cause:



Chorus:

I can never be what you want

I can never be what you want me to be

I have sailed this impossible ocean

I have sailed this crazy sea

I can never be what you want,

Whatever you want me to be



There is a spirit rising against what i have become

I have to come out and choose to stay our make my run

I'm slowly dying, i have to make a stand

I'm coming home, you'll have to take me for what i am





Chorus



Be? i can never be!

I can never be what you want!

I can never be what you want me to be!
