Let Me Be

Excuse me, can I have a little second of your time?
This would only take a little while, and then you'll see
A better me, a different someone
Sorry, I promise this won't take very long
Afterwards you may carry on and do
What there is to do with me
Crawling all over; this feeling; it's over
But there's still one matter, I must take care of
Don't know if you heard this much, don't really care
I'm not asking for long, I just want long enough, just

Let me be, maybe you can see
There's something that I've gotta do, for so long I've been meaning to
To bring myself to a special one, before my chance is gone
Wish her luck and all the rest, tell her that she knows her best
And stand strong and clear in my mind
So let me be, bring me back where I came from
Bring me back for a day, till I find the right words to say
Been looking for for so long, but every moment I took was so wrong
If I don't ever come back to that place
I guess we know the score, I'm final in my race

So there, I guess you have it, you know of my intentions
So why you hold me up and tie me down, and why that frown?
What's a day gonna do to your business?
Crawling all over; this feeling; it's over
But there's still one matter, I must take care of
Don't know if you heard it all, don't really care
I'm not asking for long, I just want long enough, just

Let me be, maybe you can see
There's something that I've gotta do, for so long I've been meaning to
To bring myself to a special one, before my chance is gone
Wish her luck and all the rest, tell her that she knows her best
And stand strong and clear in my mind
So let me be, bring me back where I came from
Bring me back for a day, till I find the right words to say
Been looking for for so long, but every moment I took was so wrong
If I don't ever come back to that place
I guess we know the score, I'm final in my race

Fire, burning inside, a burning, a passion for life
For all my trouble and strife, a reason to try, a fighting chance, a yearning to cry
For all my wasted hours, perished in a fog, of disillusion, gone into the darkness
Floating away from me, further from my grip, silently, I couldn't follow, even if I wanted
Heading for disaster, ever faster, ahead of me, so far, can't even see
My hand before me, locked away
Crawling all over me, this feeling I can't shake off, I'm crawling ever nearer
It's telling me there's a matter, I must take care of
Don't if you heard any of this before, I don't really care
I'm not asking for long, I don't need all that much
I just want long enough, just

Let me be, maybe you can see
There's something that I've gotta do, for so long I've been meaning to
To bring myself to a special one, before my chance is gone
Wish her luck and all the rest, tell her that she knows her best
And stand strong and clear in my mind
So let me be, bring me back where I came from
Bring me back for a day, till I find the right words to say
Been looking for for so long, but every moment I took was so wrong
If I don't ever come back to that place
I guess we know the score, I'm final in my race
