Three Doors Down - Let me be myself

I guess I just got lost
being someone else.
I tried to kill the pain,
but nothing ever helped.
I left myself behind,
somewhere along the way
hoping to come back around
to find myself someday
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.
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 of these times
that I gave in to you
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.
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.
That's all I 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.
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.
Would you one time
let me be myself
and let me be me.
