Just Let Me Be

my soul rolls heavy

and my hearts like a diamond

my minds all twisted

and my fist are up and timen

 

so much rage idk what to say

so much pain it wont go away

i once cared about things

i use to have a big heart

but now i dont care its all fallen apart

peice by peice is where it lays

all my hurt is in my mind thats where it stays

how do i get help

how i do i get it out

its all so silent

no one can hear my shout

i cry out to you but you cant hear me

idk why cuz i know you can see me

you should all be down like me

you all have nothin to gain

nothin to throw away

nothin you can say

stay out of my way

since you cant agree

then just let me be

 

my soul rolls heavy

and my hearts like a diamond

my minds all twisted

and my fist are up and timen

 

soft warm teardrop

rollin down my face

dont know what to do

dont know where to place

feel so lonely yearning for love

but no one hears me except from above

and above is all i need

i dont need you

you dont need me

just let me be

who i wanna be

cuz i know i can

and i know i will

do what i want

without a taunt

im ready to kill

im tired of this hill

got my head down with my elbows

to my knees beggin you please

to listen to what I got to say

but i know you wont cuz you

dont care anyway so

leave now go on and

be scared of my tone

and just let me be

 

my soul rolls heavy

and my hearts like a diamond

my minds all twisted

and my fist are up and timen

 

can you see my cry without a tear

can you see the hurt

can you smell the fear

im tired of bein fake

im me your you

life goes down the trail of what you make

can you make it happy can you make it sad

do what you want with it but dont make me mad

dont bring me down you keep your frown

im not gonna worry about you

im gonna worry about me

so get out of my face

and just let me be
