[Verse 1]
I guess I just got lost
Being someone else
I tried to kill the pain
Nothin' ever helped
I left myself behind
Somewhere along the way
Hoping to come back around
To find myself someday

[Pre-Chorus]
Lately, I'm so tired of waiting for you
To say that it's ok, but tell me

[Chorus]
Please, would you one time
Just let me be myself
So I can shine with my own light
Let me be myself

[Post-Chorus]
Would you let me be myself

[Verse 2]
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
Take back all of these times
That I gave in to you
[Pre-Chorus]
Lately I'm so tired of waiting for you
To say that it's ok, but tell me

[Chorus 2]
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

[Bridge]
That's all I've ever wanted from this world
Is to let me be me

[Chorus]
Please, would you one time
Let me be myself
So I can shine with my own light
Let me be myself

[Chorus 2]
Please, would you one time
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
[Outro]
Would you one time...oooh
Let me be myself
Let me be me
