Pick yourself up off the ground
You're sure as hell too good to let them hold you down

Waste of chances, waste of time (you gotta let me be me)
You waste it all on wasted lines (you gotta let me be me)
Back myself into a corner once again
Take you for a liar while you called yourself a friend
It's the end, it's the end

So gimmie gimmie my motivation
Gimmie gimmie my dreams
You gotta tear me down to set me free
And gimmie gimmie my revalation, gimmie back my scene
You've gotta let me be, you gotta let me be me
You gotta let me be me

I gave a lot to let you in (you gotta let me be me)
I shook your hand, you pulled the pin (you gotta let me be me)
Now I'm all ears to find you're lying through your teeth
You wear the smile to hide the coward underneath
Bittersweet, bittersweet

So gimmie gimmie my motivation
Gimmie gimmie my dreams
You gotta tear me down to set me free
And gimmie gimmie my revalation, gimmie back my scene
You've gotta let me be, you gotta let me be me

Waste of chances, waste of time (you gotta let me be me)
A waste of chances, waste of time

Gimmie gimmie my motivation
Gimmie gimmie my dreams
You gotta tear me down to set me free
And gimmie gimmie my revalation, gimmie back my scene
You've gotta let me be
You've gotta let me be
You've gotta let me be me
