I Can't Be You Lyrics - Gov't Mule

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
