Who You Want Me To Be

Somewhere in some other life I've mastered almost everything I've tried
But darling could it be 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

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

I've chased the sunlight through the trees it flickers and always slips away
You were young still naive when you said you'd never leave
Is it me or just your words 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

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

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
