lyrics

Well I’ve been playing all your games
While you’ve been hanging out with names
And I ain’t gonna be the one
Whose gonna be shot down in flames

Cause anyone can see right through
The hollowness inside of you
You never finish what you start
You’ll never leave me with a broken heart

Cause, I can’t be, what you want me to be
No, I can’t be, what you want me to be

I never wanna let you down
I never wanna see you frown
I’m sorry if I made you cry
Sorry if I’m not the guy

But you want me to lie for you
Believe in things that just aint true
Then turn and look the other way
And do the fucked-up things you say

Cause, I can’t be, what you want me to be
No, I can’t be, what you want me to be

Interlude

When I’m up you’re always down
When I am down you’re not around
But mostly it don’t matter
Cause you’re hardly ever here in town

And I can’t take this any more
I’m not the man I was before
I’m tired and I’m fading fast
And I don’t think I’m gonna last

Cause, I can’t be, what you want me to be
No, I can’t be, what you want me to be…
