Can i say this in song lyrics?

Hey, is it correct to say "always be the same is not for me". It´s in song lyrics. What i mean with this is that i don´t want to be the same so it´s not for me. Or would it be better to say "always be the same, it´s not for me".

Thanks for any help.

Anonymous always be the same is not for me This would be punctuated as "Always be the same" is not for me. The meaning is that you don't want to follow any order or advice not to change. You want to be free to change.

I'd use, "To always be the same is not for me."

However, songs have certain liberties

Thanks for the reply. Yes the thing is that i just wanted to know if it´s correct to say this, if you think the english grammar, the meaning is exactly what i want to say.
