Let Me Be Myself

without comments

I'm sure many of you have heard of the band 3 Doors Down--they are an alt rock band. Anyway, on their new CD there is this song "Let me be myself" It is probably a song about a relationship, but as soon as I listened to the lyrics I realized this could totally be a song about addiction and my doc. I know for myself I used so that I would feel good, feel better about myself. At this point I don't know who I am because I've been drugged for so long. Read the lyrics below and just imagine the subject as your drug of choice--I know you'll see what I mean when you read it. If you like the words I suggest you look it up on Itunes or another site. It's a slow beautiful song as well. Enjoy

I guess I just got lost being someone else. I tried to kill the pain, but nothing ever helped. I left myself behind, somewhere along the way, hoping to come back around to find myself someday.

Lately I'm so tired of waiting for you to say that it's okay. Tell me please would you one time let me be myself so I can shine with my own light. Let me be myself.

Would you let me be myself?

'Cause I'll never find my heart behind someone else. I'll never see the light of day living in this cell. It's time to make my way into the world I knew. And then take back all of these times that I gave in to you.

Lately I'm so tired of waiting for you to say that it's okay. Tell me please, would you let me be myself so I can shine with my own light. Let me be myself.

For awhile if you don't mind, let me be myself so I can shine with my own light. Let me be myself. That's all I ever want from this world is to let me be me.
