[Verse 1] Tell me, what did I do so wrong? Do I need permission just to breathe? If I never lived up to your expectations That ain’t failure, that’s my choice to make You can live your life your way I’m just walking through mine Stepping on the notes Of my own melody If you don’t like what you see Turn around and leave Why pick up another stone Just to throw it at me? Who did I ever hurt? When did I live with hate? You already know the truth So maybe check that finger first [Pre-Chorus] Don’t tell me what is right Your standards draw your line 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 road, just let me be Don’t get it twisted, I’m not a sin I’m not your villain, not your slave I just don’t fit the frame you’re in Let me be, let me live Point your fingers, I won’t slip I’m living life the way I believe This ain’t an excuse This is my creed [Verse 2] Don’t misunderstand me, baby The mess ain’t living in my life It’s that anxious voice inside you Still fighting battles every night Maybe judging someone else’s road Makes you feel better for a while But listen close and understand That blade comes swinging back around Your gossip travels light as smoke Your words fly off into the sky But scars stay longer than the moment You know that’s true, don’t act surprised [Pre-Chorus] I don’t need to prove my name Convincing you ain’t my game The freedom to live in peace I’ll take it, I won’t ask please [Chorus] So let me be, let me breathe Don’t lock me in your definition Talk your talk, I still won’t break I’m living my life peacefully Let me be, let me live I already know who I am A believer in freedom and peace That’s the life I choose to live [Bridge] Stop pushing darkness on the world The one you’re hurting most is yourself Let it go Set yourself free That sky’s been open all along [Break] Hold a hand Or walk alone Nobody makes that choice for you Happiness Loneliness Both belong to you I don’t run I don’t hide I stand tall where I belong Being different isn’t a crime Different ain’t wrong at 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, believe Let me be, let me live Every finger points back someday I’ll keep living without fear Standing firm, still right here Let me be Let me breathe Let me live Let me live [Outro] You choose Hold my hand or build your wall You choose Stand together or let it fall You choose The road is yours to walk Are you ready? Are you ready now?
