Let Me Be Me lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm a grown-up woman but a girl again
It's been like this since I can remember when
Your questioning and answering
You're always talking to me like I can't relate
When all I want to do is to communicate
You were meant to be someone else

[Pre-Chorus]
I look at the pictures of me and you, we're smiling
Tell me what happened to the times when
We understood each other
Yeah

[Chorus]
All I need is a little bit of space to breathe
And a little bit of freedom to be who I wanna be (To be who I wanna be)
Let me be me
Love means learning to let me go and spread my wings
You let me grow and live life
You gotta let me be (You gotta let me be)
Let me be me

[Verse 2]
You try to teach me lessons not to suffocate
Always setting goals that I don't wanna make
And I'm tired of it, sick and tired of it
And it feels just like we're on a one way street
It's only half where we gotta meet
Oh, we gotta make it back, yeah
[Pre-Chorus]
I look at the pictures of me and you, we're smiling
Tell me what happened to the times when
We understood each other
Yeah, yeah

[Chorus]
All I need is a little bit of space to breathe
And a little bit of freedom to be who I wanna be (To be who I wanna be)
Let me be me
Love means learning to let me go and spread my wings
You let me grow and live life
You gotta let me be (You gotta let me be)
Let me be me, yeah!

[Post-Chorus]
Let me be, let me be
Let me be, let me be (Let me be)
Let me be, let me be (Oh)

[Pre-Chorus]
I look at the pictures of me and you we're smiling
What happened to the times when
We understood each other
Yeah!
[Chorus]
All I need is a little bit of space to breathe (Space to breathe, yeah)
And a little bit of freedom to be who I wanna be (To be who I wanna be)
Let me be me (Let me be me, yeah)
Love means learning to let me go and spread my wings (Spread my wings)
You let me grow and live life
You gotta let me be (You gotta let me be me)
Let me be me

[Chorus]
All I need is a little bit of space to breathe (Oh, oh whoa whoa)
And a little bit of freedom to be who I wanna be (To be who I want to be)
Let me be me
Love means learning to let me go and spread my wings (Hey)
You let me grow and live life (Ooh)
You gotta let me be (You gotta let me be)
Let me be me

[Post-Chorus]
Let me be, let me be
Let me be, let me be
Let me be, let me be (You gotta let me be, hey)
Let me be, let me be (Mm)
Let me be, let me be
Let me be, let me be (Yeah)
