  • 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 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

    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 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

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

    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've gotta let me be me Writer/s: ALEXANDER WILLIAM GASKARTH, JACK BASSAM BARAKAT, MICHAEL JOSEPH GREEN, ROBERT RYAN DAWSON, ZACHARY STEVEN MERRICK
