Can’t Let Go (Change)

 

It’s the fifth time this week

I heard you talking at night

About me and my bad qualities

And what I’ll do with my life

You sound hopeless

Every time you say my name

 

And now here I am

Lying awake in bed

Wanna sleep but can’t erase

Those painful things you’ve said

Cause it hurts me

When you say I should change

 

Chorus:

I can’t be what you want me to be

You may like it but that just isn’t me

I’m sorry to hurt you so

But there are some things I can’t let go

I can’t be something to please someone else

I grow uncomfortable when I’m not myself

I’m sorry I’m still the same

But I don’t ever want to change

 

I know how badly you want

To show me off to your friends

And I know there’s so much

About me you want to tell them

That I’m drifting

And I’m running away from you

 

You know that I’m happy

I’ve got all I’ll need

There isn’t anything else

I know that I’m complete

So let me go

And see everything I can do

 

(Chorus)

 

Well, I may not be perfect

And I’m not always right

But I am the person I am

I’ve got a lot more locked inside

I know you care about me

But you want me to lose my dreams

 

(Chorus)

 

I’m drifting, I’m running

I’m dreaming, I’m trying

I’m working, I’m hurting

I’m fleeing, I’m flying

And I’m still me

Oh, I’m still me
