Let me be myself

Guess I just got lost being someone else.

I tried to kill the pain,

but nothing ever helped.

I left myself behind,

somewhere along the way

hoping to come back around

to find myself someday

Lately I'm so tired of waiting for you

to say that it's okay.

Tell me please

Would you one time let me be myself

so I can shine with my own light.

Let me be myself.

Would you let me be myself?

'Cause I'll never find my heart behind someone else.

I'll never see the light of day

living in this cell.

It's time to make my way

into the world I knew.

And then take back all of these times

that I gave in to you

Lately I'm so tired of waiting for you

to say that it's okay.

Tell me please...

Would you one time let me be myself

so I can shine with my own light.

Let me be myself.

For a while, if you don't mind,

let me be myself

so I can shine with my own light.

Let me be myself.

That's all I ever wanted from this world,

is to let me be me.
