How Can I Be?
[©2020 W. Livesay]

Loving you was easy when I touched myself
Like a fool I sang a lover’s serenade
But girl I ain’t singing anymore songs for you
No more second looks from me when you dance
You’re something naughty on my plate I won’t take a chance
Consuming tiny drops of you
In the comfort of a lie
When there's no comfort in the truth
There ain’t no overtime baby this is absolute
How can I be so much more than myself
How can I be
To change myself within
On someone’s little whim
I’ve loved too many women
I’ve lived a thousand lives
How can I be
How can I be so much more
Knowing that I never have to look you in the eye again
I'm feeling good and I can tell the world
That I'm finally coming down from an uphill climb
Washing you away with the blood stains on my sleeve
Redemption of a man whose heart is free
Baby I was yours but you were never mine
The beauty you possess with your lies is what made me fall in love
But momma always said “Pretty is as pretty does”
How can I be so much more than myself
How can I be
To change myself within
On someone’s little whim
I’ve loved too many women
I’ve lived a thousand lives
How can I be
How can I be so much more
How could I ever be
Someone other than who I am
With all my little quirks and insecurities
Delivered from the bondage that tied me in the past
You lost your bet with all your friends there'll be no second act
Don't train your track on me, oh I won’t be coming back
How can I be So much more than myself
How can I be
To change myself within
On someone’s little whim
I’ve loved too many women
I’ve lived a thousand lives
How can I be
How can I be so much more
