Never Be You

I'll never be like you
You know that I tried to
But no one can touch you
Whatever I do, I'll never be you
Could wear the right faces
Be in all the right places
Sell my soul to be famous
It still wouldn't do, I'll never be you
I could be a movie star
My star right on the boulevard
I still won't get to where you are
You're perfect, it's true, I'll never be you
Just to let you know
Yeah, yeah
Nothing lasts forever, so
Yeah, yeah
Don't think you own the world
You never will, you never can, sorry, you don't understand
But baby, all I know is I will never be you
Play all the right cards
You're the one on the top charts
You're everyone's sweetheart
They like what you do, but I'll never be you
You say I'll be happy
If I do what you tell me
But you don't even hear me
So I say that we're through and I'll never be you
I could be a movie star
My star right on the boulevard
I still won't get to where you are
You're perfect, it's true, I'll never be you
Just to let you know
Yeah, yeah
Nothing lasts forever, so
Yeah, yeah
Don't think you own the world
You never will, you never can, sorry, you don't understand
But baby, all I know is I will never be you
I'm a shooting star and I play the part
But you push too far
When I crash and fall, you don't care at all
So now I'm standing tall
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Nothing lasts forever, so
Yeah, yeah
Don't think you own the world
You never will, you never can, sorry, you don't understand
But baby, all I know is I will never be, never be you
Yeah, yeah
Nothing lasts forever, so
Yeah, yeah
Don't think you own the world
You never will, you never can, sorry, you don't understand
But baby, all I know is I will never be, never be you
