Pick yourself up off the ground You're sure as hell too good to let them hold you down [Verse 1] Waste of chances, waste of time You gotta let me be me You waste it all on wasted lines You gotta let me be me Back myself into a corner once again Take you for a liar while you call yourself a friend It's the end, it's the end [Chorus] So gimmie gimmie my motivation Gimmie gimmie my dreams You gotta tear me down to set me free And gimmie gimmie my revelation, gimmie back my scene You've gotta let me be, you gotta let me be me You gotta let me be me [Verse 2] I gave a lot to let you in You gotta let me be me I shook your hand, you pulled the pin You gotta let me be Now I'm all ears to find you're lying through your teeth You wear the smile to hide the coward underneath Bittersweet, bittersweet [Chorus] A waste of chances, waste of time You gotta let me be me A waste of chances, waste of time [Chorus]
