let it be me
I grew up scared of my father
His words were known to draw blood
I know that nobody's perfect
But I never questioned his life
When he cursed the television
And that god damn rainbow parade
I wrapped my wounds in religion
That night I learned how to pray
If you poisoned the apple why plant the tree?
Why plant the tree?
If there's one in the city you're willing to keep
Let it be me
Let it be me, Lord
Let it be me
Lеt it be me, Lord
Let it bе me
I'm learning to love the progress (I'm learning to love the progress)
Get more faith with every inch
You're making peace with the thought of (you're making peace with the thought of)
Growing out of more than your skin
What was once out of the question
Now gets met a quarter way
It might not be a rainbow
But at least it's more than grey
If you poisoned the apple
Why plant the tree?
Why plant the tree?
If there's one in the city you're willing to keep
Let it be me
Let it be me, Lord
Let it be me
Let it be me, Lord
Let it be me
Let it be me that you treat like a daughter
Let it be me when you give me away
Let it be you who's proud of me sort of
'Cause blood is blood at the end of the day
If you poisoned the apple
Why plant the tree?
Why plant the tree?
If there's one in the city you're willing to keep
Let it be me
Let it be me, Lord
Let it be me
Let it be me, Lord
Let it be me
His words were known to draw blood
I know that nobody's perfect
But I never questioned his life
When he cursed the television
And that god damn rainbow parade
I wrapped my wounds in religion
That night I learned how to pray
If you poisoned the apple why plant the tree?
Why plant the tree?
If there's one in the city you're willing to keep
Let it be me
Let it be me, Lord
Let it be me
Lеt it be me, Lord
Let it bе me
I'm learning to love the progress (I'm learning to love the progress)
Get more faith with every inch
You're making peace with the thought of (you're making peace with the thought of)
Growing out of more than your skin
What was once out of the question
Now gets met a quarter way
It might not be a rainbow
But at least it's more than grey
If you poisoned the apple
Why plant the tree?
Why plant the tree?
If there's one in the city you're willing to keep
Let it be me
Let it be me, Lord
Let it be me
Let it be me, Lord
Let it be me
Let it be me that you treat like a daughter
Let it be me when you give me away
Let it be you who's proud of me sort of
'Cause blood is blood at the end of the day
If you poisoned the apple
Why plant the tree?
Why plant the tree?
If there's one in the city you're willing to keep
Let it be me
Let it be me, Lord
Let it be me
Let it be me, Lord
Let it be me
