Lyrics
I just can't make pretend that everything is fine
I've got trouble in my bank account and Trouble in my mind
Everytime I look right, you tell me to look left
And as soon as I turn my head, my face gets slapped
CH} I can't be what you want me to be
Cause I might just loose my mind X 2
I can feel your judgement of the way I dress
I'm out without my makeup and my hair's in a mess
Feel like I'm walking on a tightrope line
Everyone's just waiting for me to take a dive
CH} I can't be what you want me to be
Cause I might just loose my mind X 2
Break} Oh I'm just about to loose my mind X3
Cause I can't be what you want me to be
No I can't be what you want me to be
I can't be what you want me to
Be what you want me to, Be what you want me to be.
