[Chorus]
I wanna be me
I wanna be free
I wanna breathe
I need to breathe
[Verse 1]
Inside my head, I tried to figure it out
No one around, no one to help me out
So all alone in this cold, cold world
A small child, I was just a little girl
Inside my mind, I tried to block things out (Block things out)
The lies, the secrets that could never be told (Never be told)
Shattered dreams, I had to keep them inside
Inside of me
[Chorus]
I wanna be me (Just let me be)
I wanna be free (Just let me be)
I wanna breathe
I need to breathe
I wanna be me (Just let me be)
I wanna be free (Just let me be)
I wanna breathe
I need to breathe
I wanna be me (Just let me be)
I wanna be free (Just let me be)
I wanna breathe
I need to breathe
I wanna be me (Just let me be)
I wanna be free (Just let me be)
I wanna breathe
I need to breathe
[Guitar solo]
[Verse 2]
Inside my heart, I know I'll never be the same (Never be the same)
The hurt, the shame, it takes over me (Over me)
How could this be, how could this happen to me? (Happen to me?)
A small child, I was just a little girl
A small child, I was just a little girl
[Chorus]
I wanna be me (Just let me be)
I wanna be free (Just let me be)
I wanna breathe
I need to breathe
I wanna be me (Just let me be)
I wanna be free (Just let me be)
I wanna breathe
I need to breathe
[Outro]
I wanna breathe
I need to breathe
I wanna breathe
I need to breathe
