Let Me Be Me

Do you know what it's like
when your whole world falls apart?
Overwhelmed with all your fears
and you don't know where to start
See I'm a little naive to think that maybe I'm alright
But then a little voice inside my head
is telling me get out of bed
It's another chance, it's another day
but when I look around, I can hear them say
My heels are too high, my dress is too short
I'm showing too much skin
I'm too tall, too small and too old
Oh (Oh) oh oh (Oh oh) oh oh (Oh oh)
Why don't you let me be, let me be me?
Oh (Oh) oh oh (Oh oh) oh oh oh (Oh oh oh)
Why won't you let me be, let me be me?
Have you ever felt so low
like your luck is running out?
And do you ever sit at home
with your mind full of self doubt?
See I'm a little naive to think that maybe I'm alright
and when a little voice says it's too late
The other tells me I'll be great
Take another chance, it's another day
but when I step outside, I can hear them say
My make up's too much
Jawline is too strong
My lips are wafer thin
The wrong face, wrong race, the wrong shape
Oh (Oh) oh oh (Oh oh) oh oh (Oh oh)
Why don't you let me be, let me be me?
Oh (Oh) oh oh (Oh oh) oh oh oh (Oh oh oh)
Why won't you let me be, let me be me?
No matter how hard I try to be me
They don't know that beauty lies skin deep
My heels are too high
My dress is too short
I'm showing too much skin
My make up's too much
Jawline is too strong
My lips are wafer thin
(I'm too tall) Too tall
(I'm too small) Too small
(I'm too old) I could never be the perfect girl
(The wrong face) Wrong face
(The wrong race) Wrong race
(The wrong shape) Living in your perfect world
(Oh) oh oh (oh oh) oh oh (oh oh) oh oh
Let me be, let me be me
(Oh) oh oh (oh oh) oh oh (oh oh oh) oh oh
Let me be, let me be me
