You expect me to live my life Stuck in a world that I'll grow to despise You expect me to compromise To give up my needs just so you could survive No! i'll never be (like you want me to be) You expect me to stand aside And watch everything that I love pass me by You expect me to close my eyes So you can protect me in this world of lies No! i'll never be (this isn't me) No! i'll never be (like you want me to be) But you, you won't let me decide You won't control my life You don't know what is right for me You expect me to fantasize And dream of a dream that will never be mine Don't expect me to waste my time Searching for something I know I won't find No! i'll never be (like you want me to be)
