Get me off this ride, I'm done.
Done with defending who I really am.
Done with this zig-zag approach to healing

I'm done holding hands with those who
Only want to pull me in their own directions.


Let me be, let me be
I am lost if I'm not free.
Get me out I cannot breathe.

Even with all these small holes you've cut out for me.

Not with all of your policies and procedures,

I am not your machine
And you can't program me to be just what you need.


Let me be, let me be
Messed up as I want to be.
Can't you see,

I'm only really messed up when I'm not me.

I have tried and tried to live inside of your control

But there is nothing that I really need from you anymore.

Let me be, let me be

Let me be, let me be

Let me be, let me be

Whatever I want to be.
Can't you see
I'm only in trouble when

I'm not free
When I'm not me.
