Warmachine What A Pretty Picture Lyrics

Can't you see what you're doing to me?
I can't be what you want me to be,
Can't you see it's not me?
Fictional reality,
Constantly reminding me,
That I'm not all you've wished of me,
But I'm not he and he's not me,
Leave me be.
Accept me, for who I am,
Why can't you just understand?
Stop doing all you can,
To keep me from who I am,
In my eyes you kick the sand,

To change my ways you demand, To change what I am is the plan,
Why can't you just understand?
Let go of my hand.
Why am I so wrong?
Is this what you call love?
Accept me for the son I am,
Not the one you wish you had,
I try and be the best I can,
Look at me in disgust,
Because it isn't good enough,
For you I have to live a bluff,
Why must I live life a lie?
I can't be something I'm not,
A fraud.
