Let Me Be Me

I’m not going to hide what I’m feeling
I’m not going to cover the fact that I’m not dealing
I’m not going to change myself for anyone that’s for sure
Obviously they’re not worth it if they want more
This is all I’ve got to offer, this is who I want to be
So don’t complain, accept it, let me be me

You think I’m a pathetic mess in need of help?
You think my file should be placed on a psycho shelf?
Well I’ve got news for you, I’m never gonna change
Even if you think that I’m crazy, a little strange
This is all I’ve got to offer, this is who I want to be
So don’t complain, accept it, let me be me

Why do I keep hoping you will talk to me?
When you are the one who tried to change me?
I don’t want this, I have to go away, leave now
I can’t be with you; I have to stop this, somehow
Time heals all wounds is what they say
But I’m still sorry it had to end this way

You can’t really expect me to change myself for you
I don’t need you putting me down, that’s why we’re through
Either you like me the way I am or you don’t
Honestly I won’t lose any sleep over this, I won’t
This is all I’ve got to offer, this is who I want to be
So don’t complain, accept it, let me be me

You say you’re sorry and you like me the way I am
Sorry, I don’t buy your lies, I don’t give a damn
You’re not sorry, no matter how many times you say you are
I don’t believe in second chances, stupid apologies won’t get you far

I’m not gonna change for you, you get the package deal
All or nothing with me, this is how I feel
Why don’t you just leave me alone? Give up, let this go
Stop trying to take back your words, you are so low
We will never work together; you’re not the boss of me
I can’t stand to speak to you anymore, let me be!

You tried to change me, what a stupid mistake
You should’ve known better, I’m no fake
Walk away now, leave me alone, let it go
Time to say goodbye now, I’m sick of your show
I know the phrase “never give up” but the act is wearing thin
Forget your apologies; throw your pathetic letters in the bin
I don’t want you, I thought I made that clear
Obviously you were too ignorant to hear

You tried to change me, stupid boy
Bet you wish you could turn back time
But you can’t
