[Verse 1] I guess I just got lost Being someone else I tried to k** the pain Nothin' ever helped I left myself behind Somewhere along the way Hoping to come back around To find myself someday [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] 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 For a while, if you don't mind Let me be myself So I can shine with my own light Let me be myself [Bridge] That's all I've ever wanted from this world Is to let me be me [Outro] 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
