[Verse 1]
The girl’s her own worst enemy,
in fact I think she’s a lot like me,
She hides her hurt where no one sees,
and laughs sometimes like she’s at peace.
Guess I recognize the sound,
of someone holding themselves down.
[Chorus]
So let me be,
Louder than the voice in your head -
that tells you a million little lies.
Why do you always let her tear you down -
The girl behind your eyes.
You swear you’re no good at goodbyes,
Let me tell her for you sometimes.
[Refrain]
Let me be.
Let me be the one -
to quiet your million little lies.
[Verse 2]
Tell me aren’t you tired
of always wearin’ a brave disguise.
I promise you -
I won’t think less of you,
if you’re just gettin’ by.
Guess I recognize the sound,
when thoughts race across the mind.
[Chorus]
So let me be,
Louder than the voice in your head -
that tells you a million little lies.
Why do you always let her tear you down -
The girl behind your eyes.
You swear you’re no good at goodbyes,
Let me tell her for you sometimes.
[Refrain]
Let me be.
Let me be the one -
to pack away every disguise.
[Bridge]
For all I want is the truth of you,
let me swim behind your eyes.
If you can trust me to -
I’ll hold the parts that you,
have buried deep inside.
And I swear it too,
everything I do,
will be to make you,
feel like you don’t have to hide.
[Refrain]
Let me be.
Let me be the one -
to show you another type of guy.
[Outro]
One who’s different from the other ones -
that told you a million little lies.
Girl, let me be,
Let me be.
Let me be.
Let me be the one -
to hold your thoughts,
and quiet your fears,
so you can take a moment just to breathe.
