LET ME BE

Voices crowding in my head again Telling me the shape I have to fit in But the mirror shows a different face Someone lost in someone else’s place Every time I tried to play along Buried truth and called the silence strong Now I’m done with living in disguise I can’t keep hiding from my own life Let me be, don’t hold me down I won’t wear your borrowed crown Cut the weight, I’m breaking free Hear it loud — just let me be Let me breathe, let me stand I won’t bend to your demands If the world won’t let me see I’ll still fight to just be me Walking on the edge of what I know But I’d rather fall than not grow Every scar is proof I tried Every truth I never denied No more shadows, no more lies No more fear behind my eyes Even if I stand alone This is finally my own road Let me be, don’t hold me down I won’t wear your borrowed crown Cut the weight, I’m breaking free Hear it loud — just let me be Let me breathe, let me stand I won’t bend to your demands If the world won’t let me see I’ll still fight to just be me
