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

[Verse 1]
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 call yourself a friend
It's the end, it's the end

[Chorus]
So gimme gimme my motivation
Gimme gimme my dreams
You gotta tear me down to set me free
And gimme gimme my revelation, gimme back my scene
You've gotta let me be, you gotta let me be me
You gotta let me be me

[Verse 2]
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
Now I'm all ears to find you're lying through your teeth
You wear the smile to hide the coward underneath
Bittersweet, bittersweet
[Chorus]
So gimme gimme my motivation
Gimme gimme my dreams
You gotta tear me down to set me free
And gimme gimme my revelation, gimme back my scene
You've gotta let me be, you gotta let me be me

[Bridge]
A waste of chances, waste of time (You gotta let me be me)
A waste of chances, waste of time

[Chorus]
So gimme gimme my motivation
Gimme gimme my dreams
You gotta tear me down to set me free
And gimme gimme my revelation, gimme back my scene
You've gotta let me be
You've gotta let me be
You gotta let me be me
