If I Can't Be Me

LETRA

If I Can't Be Me

If I can't be me
How can I be with you?
Baby, I've changed
Just to see this thing through
Some nights I wonder if you even know
Who you're making love to
If I can't be me
How can I be with you?

Oh, the girl that you want
Just staying who I am
And God knows I've tried
To fit in your plans
But now I see how I really don't
No matter what I might do
If I can't be me
How can I be with you?

Well it hurts when the one you're with
You know won't ever get
The essence, and so love your heart
'Till the one day when there's nothin' left
The shadow of yourself
And you can hardly, remember who you are

Oh, it kills me deep inside
When you look in my eyes
And you can't even see that I'm sad
And I wonder why I've stayed
I guess that I was just hanging on to a little happiness we once had

If I can't be me
How can I be with you?
Baby, I've changed
Just to see this thing through
Some nights I wonder if you even know
Who you're making love to
If I can't be me
How can I be with you?
If I can't be me
How can I be with you?
