Lyrics

Let me breathe

Cause I'm drowning in your sorrow

Let me leave

Respect me do not follow me believe

I can make me own tomorrow

Let me breathe

Does it make

You feel good cause you own me

Does it take

Your puppet strings to hold me

How I ache

As you're trying to control me

Let me breathe

Let me dance till my shoes cry

Let me laugh let me be

Let me dance let me choose my life

Let me climb the living tree

Picture this

When you wake up in the morning

And I kiss

Your sorry ass goodbye

What will I miss

There's nothing I can think of as I leave

Let me dance 'till my shoes cry

Let me laugh let me be

Let me dance let me choose my life

Let me climb the living tree

Let me dance 'till my shoes cry

Let me laugh let me be

Let me dance let me choose my life

Let me climb the living tree

Let me climb

The Living tree
