Can't you accept me

Tears falling down
i can't see now
but this is me
this is all I'll ever be
the more i try to be free
the more trapped i am

why can't you just let me be
this is me
this is what i believe in
i don't want to be mean
but i don't want to be here

running through my eyes
all i can do is cry
i feel so weak
it's what you do to me
make me bow in defeat
making me powerless

why can't you just let me be
this is me
this is what i believe in
i don't want to be mean
but i don't want to be here

this is me
this is who i am
i am faithful
i am hardworking
i am trying to stay alive
but you're not helping me

why can't you just let me be
this is me
this is what i believe in
i don't want to be mean
but i don't want to be here

why can't you let me be
why can't you accept me
accept what i believe in
