Derri Daugherty I Want You To Be
[Verse 1]
In the garden where we dreamed
A god and goddess fantasy
The fruit rots on the vine
My heart was free and innocent
Believing we were infinite
But our green world withered in time
And I don't see true love in your eyes
Just a river mirage in the sky
It felt like soaring, but I'm diving
Done with telling lies
[Chorus 1]
And I want you to be
What I want you to be
It's not fair to you
It's not fair of me
And you want me to be
What you want me to be
It's not fair of you
It's not fair to me
[Verse 2]
On the porch swing, crickets sound
Barefoot, we walk on the ground
Moonlit clover bed
Trusting what I felt from you
Sacred bloom, I gave my soul to you
The moment so easily shed
And I don't love myself in your eyes
When you make me feel marginalized
It is what it is; we are who we are
No more compromise
[Chorus 2]
And you want me to be
What you want me to be
It's not fair to me
It's not fair of you
And I want you to be
What I want you to be
It's not fair of me
It's not fair to you
[Bridge]
The heart feels what it feels, real or unreal
The heart wants what it wants, what it wants
[Chorus 3]
Well, I want you to be
What I want you to be
It's not fair to you
It's not fair of me
And you want me to see
What you want me to see
Flying blind with you
Falling deaf on me
If I cry in your ear
What you don't care to hear
Will you taste my tears?
Will you sense my fear?
'Cos I need you to feel
What I need you to feel
Was your heart ever true?
Do you love me?
[Coda]
Your heart feels what it feels
The heart wants what it wants
