Gov't Mule I Can't Be You Try to rip the heart from my lovers chest Try to learn from the master, I've done my best Even tried to shut myself off to way my lover feels Try to take my imagination, make it real Yes I tried and I tried Yeah I tried and I tried But I can't be you Though it hurts me to know that I fell I can't be you Though you want me to be someone else I can't be you I can't even be myself I tried to always be the one to draw first blood Pour salt into the wounds every chance I could Even tried to blame my lover for my mistakes I tried to point my finger each time my heart aches Yes I tried and I tried Yeah I tried and I tried I can't be you Though it hurts me to know that I fell I can't be you Though you want me to be someone else I can't be you No I try to do everything that you would do I tried to see everything from your twisted point of view Yeah Yes I tried and I tried I tried and tried and tried and tried I can't be you Though it hurts me to know that I fell I can't be you Though you want me to be someone else No I can't be you No I can't be you I can't even be myself Try to rip the heart from my lovers chest Try to learn from the master, I've done my best
