Pick yourself up off the ground
You’re sure as [bad word] to good
To let them hold you down

Waste of chances
Waste of time
(You gotta let me be me)

You wasted all
On wasted lines
(You gotta let me be Me)

Back myself into
To corner once again
Take you for a liar
While you called yourself a friend
It’s the end
It’s the end

So gimme, gimme my motivation
Gimme. gimme my dreams
You gotta tear me down
To set me free
And gimme, gimme my revelation
Gimme back my scene
You’ve gotta let me be
You gotta let me be me

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 me)
Now I’m all ears
To find
You’re lying through your teeth
You wear the smile to hide
The coward underneath
Bittersweet
Bittersweet

So gimme, gimme my motivation
Gimme. gimme my dreams
You gotta tear me down
To set me free
And gimme, gimme my revelation
Gimme back my scene
You’ve gotta let me be
You gotta let me be me

Waste of chances
Waste of time
(You gotta let me be me)

Waste of chances
Waste of time

So gimme, gimme my motivation
Gimme. gimme my dreams
You gotta tear me down
To set me free
And gimme, gimme my revelation
Gimme back my scene
You’ve gotta let me be
You’ve gotta let me be

You’ve gotta let me be
ME
