Let Me Be

Excuse me, can I have a little second of your time? This would only take a little while, and then you'll see A better me, a different someone Sorry, I promise this won't take very long Afterwards you may carry on and do What there is to do with me Crawling all over; this feeling; it's over But there's still one matter, I must take care of Don't know if you heard this much, don't really care I'm not asking for long, I just want long enough, just Let me be, maybe you can see There's something that I've gotta do, for so long I've been meaning to To bring myself to a special one, before my chance is gone Wish her luck and all the rest, tell her that she knows her best And stand strong and clear in my mind So let me be, bring me back where I came from Bring me back for a day, till I find the right words to say Been looking for for so long, but every moment I took was so wrong If I don't ever come back to that place I guess we know the score, I'm final in my race So there, I guess you have it, you know of my intentions So why you hold me up and tie me down, and why that frown? What's a day gonna do to your business? Crawling all over; this feeling; it's over But there's still one matter, I must take care of Don't know if you heard it all, don't really care I'm not asking for long, I just want long enough, just Let me be, maybe you can see There's something that I've gotta do, for so long I've been meaning to To bring myself to a special one, before my chance is gone Wish her luck and all the rest, tell her that she knows her best And stand strong and clear in my mind So let me be, bring me back where I came from Bring me back for a day, till I find the right words to say Been looking for for so long, but every moment I took was so wrong If I don't ever come back to that place I guess we know the score, I'm final in my race Fire, burning inside, a burning, a passion for life For all my trouble and strife, a reason to try, a fighting chance, a yearning to cry For all my wasted hours, perished in a fog, of disillusion, gone into the darkness Floating away from me, further from my grip, silently, I couldn't follow, even if I wanted Heading for disaster, ever faster, ahead of me, so far, can't even see My hand before me, locked away Crawling all over me, this feeling I can't shake off, I'm crawling ever nearer It's telling me there's a matter, I must take care of Don't if you heard any of this before, I don't really care I'm not asking for long, I don't need all that much I just want long enough, just Let me be, maybe you can see There's something that I've gotta do, for so long I've been meaning to To bring myself to a special one, before my chance is gone Wish her luck and all the rest, tell her that she knows her best And stand strong and clear in my mind So let me be, bring me back where I came from Bring me back for a day, till I find the right words to say Been looking for for so long, but every moment I took was so wrong If I don't ever come back to that place I guess we know the score, I'm final in my race
