I Can Never Be (what You Want Me To Be) Lyrics - Singles - Clegg Johnny

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!
