Let Me Be Me

Why cant you understand
Im not trying to disappoint you
Try to understand
Im just trying to approve of me
Trying to be the person I want to be

Just let me be who I want to be
You cant force me to be who you want to see
Im never going to change so you better
get used to me this way

I don’t care what you want from me
It’s my life not yours so let me live it free
Stop trying to push me a different way
I’ll walk this road alone if you don’t want to stay

If I tried to be who you want me to be
Id be living a lie unhappily
I wont force you to like who I am
Just don’t force me to turn into you

Im never going to be perfect for you
So why should I try
You cant make me turn into someone I’m not
Because i wont let you control my life

I know who I want to be
A person who seizes the day
I know who you want me to be
A picture perfect version of you
Don’t judge me, just believe in me
