| 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! |
