Let Me Be

You know I used to think I needed this kind of thing
Somebody to tell me I was gettin' sloppy
And occasionally, that's exactly what I need
Somebody to tell me when my shirt's lookin' dirty
Well you my friend, are takin' things a bit to far
Tellin' me how to live and how to be a big star
Well the things I do, or the things I don't do
Don't necessarily always have to concern you
Well I'm never gonna be the way you want me to be
So why can't you just give up already
Can't you see, you're not helpin'
Why can't you just let me be
Let me be, let me be
Let me be, let me be the way I wanna be
Well now everybody starts to roll their eyes
As the brutal truth you tell starts to feel like lies
How can you say you're so honest and true?
When the ones you love, make you act so cruel
I know things don't always go the way you want
But that don't mean, you can ridicule and taunt
I know I ain't perfect, but I ain't that bad
Even you yourself said, I'm the best you've ever had
Well I'm never gonna be the way you want me to be
So why can't you just give up already
Can't you see, you're not helpin'
Why can't you just let me be
Let me be, let me be
Let me be, let me be the way I wanna be
You're like the ice to my fire
When I'm trying to get higher
You can't help but bring me down
The world starts to spin faster
It's a natural disaster
As the fight goes another round
So come on, come on
This is a game that no one's ever won
Well I'm never gonna be the way you want me to be
So why can't you just give up already
Can't you see, you're not helpin'
Why can't you just let me be
Let me be, let me be
Let me be, let me be the way I wanna be
Let me be, let me be baby
Let me be, let me be the way I wanna be

You offer too much to me
Much more than I can use
Your perfect treachery
Comes so easily
I'm lost don't know what to do
Her pain was distracting me
As I sifted through the truth
Was it all just necessary suffering?
Pleasure I must refuse
I'm coming apart
My soot covered heart
It tries to restart
But I need the right kind of fuel baby
She creeps inside
There's nowhere to hide
Oh no I won't be made your fool baby
No one taught me how to play the blues
I just play them naturally
No one tells me what to do
It ain't easy being free
Every time I look at you
There's a beautiful sickness rising inside of me
I'm coming apart
My soot covered heart
It tries to restart
But I need the right kind of fuel baby
You creep inside
There's nowhere to hide
Oh yes I know I'm just your fool baby
