Who You Want Me To Be

Somewhere in some other life
I’d mastered almost everything I tried
But darling could it be that it was only in a dream
And the time has come to open up our eyes
Now I see you at a distance
Standing tall as if to bar the door
With the ring of disapproval as you tell me
You always wanted more

Chorus:
I can’t be who you want me to be
I can’t be who you want me to be
I can’t be who you want me to be
And still be me

V2:
I’ve chased the sunlight through the trees
It flickers and it always melts away
You were young and still naive when you said you’d never leave
Is it me or just your word you won’t betray
So I won’t take a curtain call
The crowd is gone, the lights are growing dim
There’s someone who you wanted me to be somewhere
Now go my love and find him

Chorus 2:
I can’t be who you want me to be
I can’t be who you want me to be
I can’t be who you want me to be
And still be me

Chorus 3:
I can’t be who you want me to be
I can’t be who you want me to be
I can’t be who you want me to be
And still be me
