I can see
Let me be
I can see
Let me be
All this freedom we get, oh
It's not all its cracked up to be
(i can see)
(let me be)
Only foes and rejects, oh
They are all we can see
(i can see)
(let me be)
Oh it's over me, yet
We are made reality
(i can see)
(let me be)
Only foes and rejects, oh
They are all we can see
(i can see)
(let me be)
Oh, let me be him, be him, be him
Oh, let me be him
Oh, let me be him
Oh oh, heyyy oh oh
Let me be him
My soul, my love,
Is running away with me
And i won't leave it all to you
Let me be him
When i lay hard at work
Lend me your ideas
But not too fully formed
So we can't be ignored
Broken into pieces,
When he sang to me
(i can see)
Call my name, remember
What you mean to me
Let me be him, be him, be him
Oh, let me be him
Oh, let me be him
Let me be him
My soul, my love
Is running away with me
And i won't leave it all to you
Let me be him
My soul, my love
Is running away with me
And i won't leave it all to you
Let me be him
My soul, my love,
Is running away with me
And i won't leave it all to you
All this sense in me,
It's gonna be the death of me
Dying every evening,
Without sleep happening to me
With all this sense in me,
You are really spoiling me
Rotten without reason,
Without sense, where would i be
Starting with your treason,
You forgot to burn a tree
All this sense in me,
It's gonna be the death of me
