You cant accept me for who I am
And I try so hard to get you to understand
I dont know if I can take this pain anymore
Cause my hearts been torn
What did I do to be treated this way
You keep beating me down
But I still ask you to stay
And I know that I want to be myself
But you want me to be someone else

Its just the same thing
How you try to Change me
So tell me what you want from me
Why cant you let me be?

I just cant go on taking all this abuse
No matter what I do its never enough for you
And I know that I am disgusted by the way that you think of me
You make me do things that I dont want to do
And you dont give a d___ about the things you put me through
And I know that you need to face the truth that I not like you

Its just the same thing
How you try to Change me
So tell me what you want from me
Why cant you let me be?

Its just the same thing
How you try to Change me
So tell me what you want from me
Why cant you let me be?

Im gonna do what I wanna do
Not what you tell me to
You say that you are looking out for me
But thats just an excuse
So drop the attitude
Cuz Im being abused
Keep playing with me and see what Im gonna do
What do you get out of messing with me?
Cuz I am just trying to do my own thing
But still youre trying to take what I got
And it just wont stop

So tell me what you want from me
Or whats the reason that you wont let me be?
I keep telling you that I give and I give
And no one can change me
Because of who I am

Its just the same thing
How you try to Change me
So tell me what you want from me
Why cant you let me be?
(Why cant you let me be)
Its just the same thing
How you try to Change me (change me)
So tell me what you want from me
Why cant you let me be?
(Why cant you let me be?)
