Anything But Me

I know you wanted so much more
I can see it on your face every time that I walk through that door
It's so easy to see
All your hopes and dreams
Since the day we met, you've watched as, one by one, they fell apart at the seams
And I know that you blame me

But what can I say?
You know I never wanted things to turn out this way
I always tried to be the man
that you wanted, but I could never understand
why it was always so hard for me
But now I see
I can only be me

You try to hide the way you feel
But I can see it as clearly as an open wound that will never heal
And I don't know what I can do
The feelings you've felt for so long
Eat away at your heart and then, eventually, all of your love is gone
And I can see that I've lost you

Do you remember that first night?
We held onto each other tight
You placed my hand upon your heart
Said nothing could tear us apart
But now the real world gets too tough
And what we had is not enough
To keep the two of us together
No more thoughts of love forever

You know I don't want to hurt you
But it seems these days, that's all that I can ever do
When was the last time you were happy?
You want me to be someone else
It's in all you do, even if its something you'll never tell
It seems you want anything but me

But what can I say?
You know I never wanted things to turn out this way
I always tried to be the man
that you wanted, but I could never understand
why it was always so hard for me
But now I see
I can only be me

At first, we felt the same
But then you tried to make a change
And I can only be me

Now what we have just falls apart
Because deep down in your heart
You want anything but me

I wish that I could see
Just why it has to be
Anything but me
