Melissa Ferrick - You Let Me Be lyrics

rate me

Today I met

A part of myself

That's been hiding out in the back

This part of me that feeds on lonely

The part of me that keeps people back

I greeted her with open arms

I laid myself right down inside

And I found a new kind of quiet calm

I've got me a new way to feel alive

Cuz youuu, you see right through me

Yea, youuu let me be

I do not wish my lonely gone

I like to savor the space

I want to honor all the parts of me

That ask me to take time away

A wakefulness, immediate life

Away from the surface

Yea break through the ice

In the heat of the darkness I have found

I got me a new kind of common ground

Cuz youuu, you see right through me

Yea, youuu let me be

Forty done, forty to go

What will I do with my time

Well I'm able to walk, able to sing, able to give, able to cry

I want to make sure when I look back I smile

Cuz youuu, you see right through me

Yea, youuu let me be

Yea, youuu, you see right through me

Yea, youuu let me be
