I may not be like my sister or even her best friend
it's not because I'm "like this"
it's just the way I am
and I don't need to tell you
that I don't really care
all these scars on my arms
they're just wear and tear
if you don't like me for me
just move on
let it be
I've known it for awhile
I've just been scared to tell you
but deep inside
I knew I couldn't hide
anymore
open up that window
unlock that door
I've got so much to give to the world
yeah you ready for some more
open up that window
unlock that door
cause I'm not scared to show my colors anymore
so open up that window
and unlock that door
let it be
let it be
this is me
let it be
let it be
this is me
let it be
let it be
this is me
yeah this is me
so just let it be
a mother has unconditional love
doesn't she?
well then why sometimes do I feel so lonely?
if I told her the truth that I've been hiding
for almost three years
would she still love me
and if she didn't
could I just let it be
or would I fall apart
because who can live with a broken heart
or would I be stronger in the end?
open up that window
unlock that door
I've got so much to give to the world
yeah you ready for some more
open up that window
unlock that door
cause I'm not scared to show my colors anymore
so open up that window
and unlock that door
let it be
let it be
this is me
let it be
let it be
this is me
let it be
let it be
this is me
yeah this is me
so just let it be
for six months I held another secret
it almost killed me to keep it
that I was breaking down
behind closed doors
because I didn't want to live anymore
taking more pills just to drown
out all of the pain
stand out for hours
in the rain
showers oh showers
just to get a feeling
that I was alive
because honestly I get dead
on the inside
but now I know
that it's okay to feel that way
as long as you tell somebody
because no one can help
if nobody knows
yeah no one can help
if nobody knows
