Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I guess I just got lost
Being someone else
I tried to kill the pain
But nothing ever helped
[Verse 2]
I left myself behind
Somewhere along the way
Hoping to come back around
To find myself someday
[Verse 3]
Lately I'm so tired of waiting for you
To say that it's okay
[Verse 4]
Tell me, please
Would you, one time, just let me be myself?
So I can shine
With my own light
Let me be myself
[Verse 5]
Would you let me be myself?
[Verse 6]
Ill never find my heart
Behind someone else
I'll never see the light of day
Living in this cell
[Verse 7]
It's time to make my way
Into the world I knew
And then take back all of these times
That I gave into you
[Verse 8]
Lately I'm so tired of waiting for you
To say that it's okay
[Verse 9]
Tell me, please
Would you, one time, oh, let me be myself?
So I can shine
With my own light
Let me be myself
[Verse 10]
For a while
If you don't mind
Let me be myself
So I can shine
With my own light
Let me be myself
[Verse 11]
That's all I've ever wanted from this world
Is to let me be me
[Verse 12]
Please
Would you, one time, let me be myself?
So I can shine
With my own light
Let me be myself
[Verse 13]
Please
Would you, one time, let me be myself?
So I can shine
With my own light
Let me be myself
[Verse 14]
For a while
If you don't mind
Let me be myself
So I can shine
With my own light
Let me be myself
[Verse 15]
Would you, one time
Ooh, let me be myself
And let me be me?
