lyrics

What You Want Me To Be

Spinning the earth on the tip of my finger
Examining different parts of the world
I see different faces, different religions passing by as it turns

Flipping a coin on the top of my hand
Don't know who will win, who will lose
As he gives all his money to the preacher
Who pretends he'll be able to chose between hell or heaven
But who's good and who's evil, who deserves a second chance

No one sees the world through my eyes
No one knows what I know
For some I'm just an illusion, the imagination
For others I control the world and I make their decisions
And I trace the paths they follow but who’ll ever know for sure

I'm whoever you think I am
When you see the rain, when you see the sun
I'll exist if you want me to
And if it'll help you carry on

I look at the world through the bottom of a bottle
Understanding the life that she chose
She spends all the money that she's been receiving
For a body that she rented to those who can put a price on love
A dollar sign on the heart of a woman who's never been loved

I'm whoever you want me to be
I'm whatever you're able to see
I'm whoever that makes you succeed
I'm whatever you want to believe

(Music and lyrics by Carlos DaCosta)
