3 Doors Down - Let me be myself

I guess I just got lost,
Being someone else,
I tried to kill the pain,
But nothing ever helps,
I left myself behind,
Somewhere along the way,
Hoping to come back around to find myself someday.

But 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,
And 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 these times that I gave into you. But lately I'm so tired of waiting for you,
To say that it's okay,
And tell me please,
Would you one time,
Let me be myself so I can shine,
With my own light,
And let me be myself for awhile,
If you don't mind,
Let me be myself so I can shine,
With my own light,
And let me be myself.

That's all I've 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,
And let me be myself for awhile,
If you don't mind,
Let me be myself so I can shine,
With my own light,
And let me be myself,
Would you one time,
Oooh, let me be myself,
Let me be me
