I guess I just got lost being someone else. 
I tried to kill the pain, but nothing ever helped. 
I left myself behind, somewhere along the way 
hoping [bad word] back around to find myself someday 

Lately I'm so tired of waiting for you 
To say that it's okay. 
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? 

'Cause 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. 
And then 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 okay. 
Tell me 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. 

That's all I 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 let me be myself 
And let me be me.
