Let Me Be Me
It’s hard to let go
That much I know
If you stand on the lawn
No grass will grow
A bird’s gotta fly
A frog’s gotta leap
A promise you make
Is a promise you keep
Let me be me
Let me be free, don’t stand in my way
You said what you had to say
At the end of the day you just be you
And let me be me
It’s extra hard to say goodbye
When you don’t really know why
There’s no sense to be made
But you still gotta try
I need to do things my own way
Whether right or wrong
You need to write your own story
I need to write my own song
Let me be me
Let me be free, don’t stand in my way
You said what you had to say
At the end of the day you just be you
And let me be me
Goodbyes never come easy
Cause when they come, you go
We’ve been saying goodbye now
Ever since we said hello
So let’s say it one last time
Just say it once more
We can open a window
After we shut the door
Let me be me
Let me be free, don’t stand in my way
You said what you had to say
At the end of the day you just be you
And let me be me
