[Verse 1] Tell me, what did I do that’s so wrong? Do I need permission just to carry on? If I don’t fit the picture that you drew for me That ain’t failure, that’s just me being free You can live your life your way I’m just walking through mine day by day Stepping on the notes of my own melody Walking my road, that’s my destiny If you don’t like it, turn around Why pick up a stone just to throw it down? Who did I hurt? Tell me honestly Have I ever moved with hostility? You know the truth, yeah, you know it well So take a look at yourself before you tell [Pre-Chorus] Don’t tell me what is right Your line belongs to your own life That’s your rule, not my law I won’t fit inside your box [Chorus] So let me be, let me breathe I’m walking my path, just let me be Don’t get it twisted, I’m not a sin I’m not your servant, not your villain I just don’t fit your frame, that’s it Let me be, let me live Point your finger, I won’t slip I’m living my way, believe This ain’t an excuse, this is my creed [Verse 2] Don’t misunderstand me, baby My life’s not the thing that’s tangled lately The battle’s happening deep inside That anxious voice you try to hide Judging other people’s lives Probably gives you comfort for a while But listen close and understand That blade comes back into your hands Your words divide, your tongue runs light Throw them out and watch them fly But scars stay longer than the smoke That’s the truth behind the joke [Pre-Chorus 2] I don’t need to prove my name Convincing people ain’t my game Freedom to live in peace I take it, I don’t ask please [Chorus] So let me be, let me breathe Don’t lock me in your beliefs Talk your talk, I still won’t break I live my way, that’s my escape Let me be, let me live I already know who I am A believer in peace and freedom That’s the life I chose to stand in [Bridge] Stop pushing darkness on the world The one who’s hurting most is yourself Let it go, set yourself free The sky’s been open all along, can’t you see? [Break] Hold a hand or walk alone Nobody makes that choice for you Happiness and loneliness Both belong to your own truth I don’t run I don’t hide I stand tall through it all Different doesn’t mean it’s wrong That’s enough, that’s all [Final Chorus] Let me be, let me breathe Till the end I’ll live as me Even if I don’t fit your view My life ain’t wrong, that’s the truth Let me be, let me live Every finger points back too I’m living my life with no fear Standing strong, still right here [Outro] You choose Hold my hand or build your wall You choose Stay together or let it fall Are you ready? Are you ready now?
