let me go

[Intro]
Ooh, ooh
(Why not just let me go?)

[Verse 1]
I'm on my knees, beat up and bruised
"I'm fine," but why me? I'm so confused
I work so hard just to let people down
So many scars, but I promise I'll never show a frown
'Cause everybody's expecting me to do so well, but
Nobody's seen what's been done to my health
I wish I didn't have to live like this
All I want is love, is this all I get?

[Chorus]
Why don't you let me go
If I'm not good enough?
Why don't you let me go
If you can't give me love?
I've tried and I've cried but I've
Done so much for everyone
All I get in return is
A life I didn't know I deserved

[Post-Chorus]
Ooh, ooh
(Why not just let me go?)

[Verse 2]
Everybody's got their eyes on me
But they don't have any faith in me
Why do I try to be the perfect child
If everything I do is wrong?
I just wanna be noticed, is that too much to ask?
Just pretend, put on your mask
If they can't see who I am for me
Then why don't they let me go?

[Chorus]
Why don't you let me go
If I'm not good enough?
Why don't you let me go
If you can't give me love?
I've tried and I've cried but I've
Done so much for everyone
All I get in return is
A life I didn't know I deserved

[Post-Chorus]
Ooh, ooh
(Why not just let me go?)
Ooh, ooh

[Bridge]
I'll say I'm fine, with tears in my eyes
Can't speak, can't shout, just here on my own
I'm drowning, I'm drowning
I'm drowning
I've tried, lost my mind, and I've cried all for them
It never works, never goes well, never asked for these things
I'm drowning, I'm drowning
I'm drowning

[Chorus]
Why don't you let me go
If I'm not good enough?
Why don't you let me go
If you can't give me love?
I've tried and I've cried but I've
Done so much for everyone
All I get in return is
A life I didn't know I deserved

[Outro]
Yeah, all I get in return is
A life I didn't know I deserved
