I Just Wanna Be

I just wanna be What you see in me But I may never be You expected me to Always be like you Something I couldn't do You just wanted me To be the epitome Of what you always wanted to be And now that I am grown And on my own To you I'm someone unknown So here we are We've come this far You depending on me is bizarre Roles reversed Strange and unrehearsed But we are where we are Hard to believe so naive This would never happen to us Family or friends Nearing the end Depend on those we've hurt And pretend I don't know what to say Why you feel this way I thought you were okay My hopes for you As you grew Same as anyone Would do When you were born I could have sworn My wife was no longer warm Made the best of things Tried everything But the truth often stings So here we are We've come this far Depending on you is bizarre Roles reversed Unrehearsed But we are where we are Hard to believe so naive This would never happen to us Family or friends Nearing the end Depend on those we've hurt And pretend So be aware try to care For everyone everywhere 'Cause age comes in Reveals your sin And no one knows When or where
