Lyrics
Let me be
Verse 1:
I don?t believe it?s true
I don?t decide for you
Why won?t you let me make my own decisions?
You make me feel so bad about things you never had
Why do I have to carry you?
Chorus:
And I won?t fight, and I won?t lye, and I won?t throw my hands and cry
Why don?t you let me be, let me be?
And I don?t want to be that girl who no one sees around the world
I?m here for you to see, here to see!
Verse 2:
I?m always wrong, you say you always right.
If I say it?s day, then you tell me that it?s night.
You cancel out everything I do
Even if I?m doing what you tell me to
Chorus:
And I won?t fight, and I won?t lye, and I won?t throw my hands and cry
Why don?t you let me be, let me be?
And I don?t want to be that girl who no one sees around the world
I?m here for you to see, here to see
Bridge:
And don?t you think that I won?t leave you here
You can continue leaving in fear
And I don?t want to give you the wrong idea
Why don?t you see what this means to me
The world
Chorus:
And I won?t fight, and I won?t lye, and I won?t throw my hands and cry
Why don?t you let me be, let me be?
And I don?t want to be that girl who no one sees around the world
I?m here for you to see, here to see
Why don?t you let me be, let me be?
I?m here for you to see, here to see
