All of my life I have watched you
climbing mountains, chasing dreams
All of my life you gave me everything
but you dont have to give the world to me
Just say you love me as I am,
say you want me as I am,
say Im someone in your eyes,
thats all I want it to be
Oh, just let me go, I know one day if Im allowed,
if Im allowed, one day Ill make you proud
All of your life youve taken chances
youve broke the rules time after time
All of your life youve gone your own way,
so give me this chance, and Ill go mine
Why cant you say you love me as I am,
say you want me as I am,
say Im someone in your eyes,
thats all I want it to be
Oh, just let me go, I know one day if Im allowed,
if Im allowed, one day Ill make you proud
Oh, one day Ill make you proud
mmm
And trying to please you now, its all I seem to do
Im holding my dreams down, its breaking me in two
Ive got to be me now cause theres already one of you
Im on my knees so help me please
Please dont shoot me down
Though you cant see it now
Someday Ill make you proud
