[Verse 1]
Yeah, I’m sick of writing songs to you
I feel like it never go' right
And now I’m tired of dreaming of you
And so I’m staying up all night, all night (All night)
I'm out here showing off the gift
And then you tell me you ain’t bout that, yeah yeah
But yeah you know its getting late
And I don't know just where my thoughts at, yeah yeah
Will someone tell me what to do?
Yeah, I don't want to end up right back where
Where I started no no no

[Pre-Chorus]
Just tell me what you want from me
Where do I go from here?
What am I supposed to see?
Ain’t this why I’m here?
Ain’t this why, why?

[Chorus]
I can’t be the one that you want me to
I’m trying , why am I losing every time? (I'm losing every time)
I can’t be the one that you want me to
I want to come back down, oh yeah
I can’t be the one that you want me to
I’m trying , why am I losing every time yeah?
I can’t be the one that you want me to
I want to come back down (Come back down)
[Verse 2]
I don’t really understand it, yeah
You ain’t tell me what the plan is
Why are you not speaking?
I’m sorry for leaving, yeah yeah
Look, one too many times I tried to draw the line
But you don’t really play that
You just want my time back
I can’t do no better
I might lose my mind, yeah
I’m gon' fade away if
You don't hit me

[Pre-Chorus]
Tell me what you want from me
Where do I go from here?
What am I supposed to see?
Ain’t this why I’m here?
Ain’t this why, why?

[Chorus]
I can’t be the one that you want me to
I’m trying , why am I losing every time? (I'm losing every time)
I can’t be the one that you want me to
I want to come back down, oh yeah
I can’t be the one that you want me to
I’m trying , why am I losing every time yeah?
I can’t be the one that you want me to
I want to come back down (Down)
[Outro]
Why?
