Don't Try; Let Me Be
~Verse 1~
Don't try to show me the way to be,
To be me,
Don't try to show me just how I am,
I already know.
~Prechorus~
Don't tell me who I am,
And what I can't do.
Don't tell me that,
I'll never make my way through.
~Chorus~
Don't try to tell me just who I am,
You don't know me,
And you won't understand,
What it takes to be me.
Don't try to show me how I should be,
I'm trying to live my own life,
I'm writing my own Destiny.
I'm just me.
~Verse 2~
Don't try to show me the way to act,
Act like me,
Don't try to tell me how to talk,
Talk like me.
~Prechorus~
Don't tell me who I am,
And what I can't do.
Don't tell me that,
I'll never make my way through.
~Chorus~
Don't try to tell me just who I am,
You don't know me,
And you won't understand,
What it takes to be me.
Don't try to show me how I should be,
I'm trying to live my own life,
I'm writing my own Destiny.
I'm just me.
~Bridge~
I'm fighting my way through,
Chasing it all away!
I'm searching for the chance to show 'em,
Who I really am.
I don't need someone telling me who to be,
I'm finding my own way by just being me!
~Ending Chorus~
So go ahead,
Try to tell me just who I am.
Try to get to know me,
And then you'll understand,
Some of what it takes, to be me.
You tried to show me,
How I should be,
Now, start living your life,
Stop writing my Destiny...
Just let me be...
Just let me be me...
Just let me be me...
Just let me be, me.
