Let Me Be Me

I'm a grown-up woman but a girl again
It's been like this since I can remember when
You're questioning and answering (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

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!

All I need is a little bit of space to breathe
And a little bit of freedom to be who I want to 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
Let me be me

You try to teach me lessons but you suffocate
Always setting goals that I don't wanna make
And I'm tired of it (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

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!

All I need is a little bit of space to breathe
And a little bit of freedom to be who I want to 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
Let me be me

Let me be, let me be (Yeah)
Let me be, let me be (Woah, let me be)
Let me be, let me be (Woah)

I look at the pictures of me and you, we're smiling
What happened to the times when
We understood each other
Yeah!

All I need is a little bit of space to breathe (space to breathe)
And a little bit of freedom to be who I want to be (to be who I want to be)
Let me be me

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)
You gotta let me be me

All I need is a little bit of space to breathe (Woah)
And a little bit of freedom to be who I want to be (to be who I want to be)
Let me be me
Love means learning to let me go (Oh)
Spread my wings, you let me grow
Live life you gotta let me be
Let me be me

Let me be, let me be
Let me be, let me be
Let me be, let me be
You gotta let me be
Let me be, let me be
Let me be, let me be
Let me be, let me be
