I CAN NEVER BE (WHAT YOU WANT ME TO BE)
Shooting star across my sky
I wanted to keep you in my heaven
“I’ll 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 be to be
The great pretender inside your head
a king wearing someone else’s crown
sacrificed who I am so this heart could be fed
I spend so much time keeping myself underground
You know I love you but I’m shaking inside
I know I’m not going to get out here alive ‘cause:
CHORUS:
I can never be what you want
I can never be what you want be to be
I have sailed this impossible ocean
I have sailed this crazy sea
I can never be what you want,
whatever you want be to be
There is this spirit rising, rising against
what I have become
I have to come out and choose to stay or 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 be? I can never be!
I can never be what you want!
I can never be what you want be to be!
