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!
