I Can't Be You

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
