I Can’t Be What You Want

Girl, I'm sorry, woah, to see you so blue
Had your hopes and your dreams pinned on me
But as hard as I try
I'm a failure in your eyes
'Cause I can't be what you want me to be

You had an image oh so clear in your mind
Of the good life you thought that we would lead
Now we hardly speak at all
I see the writing on the wall
I can't be what you want me to be

Told you when we met
What you see is what you get
You insisted that you loved me as I am
But in time you hoped I'd change
All that sunshine turned to rain
Now you're looking for a different kind of man

At night, I touch you, oh, asleep by my side
Though I know I'm no longer what you need
I'd givе all I possess
Live like a king in happinеss
If I could be what you want me to be
If I could be what you want me to be
But I can't be what you want me to be
