let me be myself

i guess i just got lost

bein' someone else

i tried to kill the pain

nothin ever helped

i left myself behind

somewhere along the way

hopin to come back around

to find myself someday

lately i'm so tired of waiting for you

to say that it's ok

but tell me

please

would you one time

just let me be myself

so i can shine with my own light

let me be myself

would you let me be myself

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

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 ok

but tell me

please

would you one time

let me be myself

so i can shine with my own light

and 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've ever wanted from this world

is to let me be me

please would you one time

let me be myself

so i can shine with my own light

let me be myself

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

would you one time. oooh

let me be myself

let me be me
