Let Me Be Myself

Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
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 to come back around To find myself someday Lately I'm so tired of waiting for you To say that it's OK. 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. 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 OK. 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. That's all I've wanted from this world, Is to let me be me. Tell me please Would you one time just let me be myself So I can shine With my own light. Let me be myself. Tell me please Would you one time just let me be myself So I can shine With my own light. Let me be myself. 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 one time Oh, let me be myself And let me be me.
