Lyrics
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
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
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
I can never be what you want
I can never be what you want me to be
Be? I can be, I can never be
