Let Me Be
A Pop Song about Support.
by manyface music
Let Me Be was written after my divorce. I started noticing something then that I hadn’t really paid attention to before…how loud someone’s inner voice can be, even when they seem completely okay on the outside.
I’ve always been someone who feels things deeply, and I think that’s part of why I recognize it so quickly in other people. The forced smile. The deflection. The way someone can laugh and still seem…tired underneath it all.
There’s a certain kind of pain that doesn’t show itself directly. It hides behind strength, behind independence, behind “I’m fine.” And the truth is, a lot of people get really good at carrying that weight alone.
Let Me Be came from that feeling. From wanting to be someone safe for another person. Not to fix them, not to change them, but just to be a voice that’s a little louder than the one in their head that keeps tearing them down.
Because sometimes the hardest part isn’t what someone else says to you…it’s what you say to yourself.
"So let me be, louder than the voice in your head - that tells you a million little lies."

Let Me Be Lyrics - Manyface Music
[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.
