Never been the one that you want
Never been the one that you need
Done what I can but I always fall short
Done what I can but I just can’t comport
Whatever you want it’s not what I am
Whatever I am don’t fit the program
I can’t be what you want me to be
I can’t be what you want me to be
It’s what they call a tragedy
You seem to think that we can work out
And you seem to think it won’t be so tough
Never tried to delude you
Never even once pursued you
You’ve got a dream but it’s all your own
Keep it to yourself and leave me alone
Never been good for much
And I never said that I was
I always been a ne'er-do-well
My best laid plans all gone to hell
Well I don't know what you saw in me
Let me go and set yourself free
