Lyrics Ollie – I’ll Be Me
Text:
So come on, let it go, just let it be
Why don’t you be you, and I’ll be me?
Everything that’s broke, leave it to the breeze
Why don’t you be you, and I’ll be me?
Damn, I wish that last line were true
I wish that I could just be me and that you could be you
But I’m still stuck in my room writin’ and feelin’ this gloom
I’m slowly realizin’ that the truth was never the truth
You told me lie after lie, like why the fuck did I try?
I guess the thing that hurts the most is there’s no good in «goodbye»
You simply left me in dark when you break me apart
When you’re too busy drinkin’ and smoking to ever restart
You see, I’m just the part that you play, all this loving was fake
You sat around and watched us decay, there’s no reason to stay
But I stayed for you, huh, even though you actin’ so ruthless
I write to get through it, these feelings are useless
And honestly, it’s still you that I love, it’s the reason I run
Cause I’m scared of falling back for your touch and it wouldn’t take much
But see you’re just in love with attention, your likes and your mentions
And you were never loyal to me, you’re just good at pretending
So, fuck you!
So come on, let it go, just let it be
Why don’t you be you, and I’ll be me?
Everything that’s broke, leave it to the breeze
Why don’t you be you, and I’ll be me?
And I’ll be me
Truth is, after moments apart
I’m beggin’ to talk, I’m searchin’ for this love that we lost
I’m textin’ your cell to feel like I ain’t trapped in a cell
But now I’m stuck in these moments, these moments are vacant
I’m tryna find a way I can feel things, I feel so complaisant
I’m hittin’ after bars every night just to find your replacement
Seems the only thing that I find is my heart is still breakin’
Like damn, what am I doing here? What am I doing here?
I’m getting drunk off this beer, I may be drunk off this fear
Now I’m surrounded by people and still I’m wishin’ you here
But you were never good to me, so why the fuck do I care?
Like, what the fuck am I doing? Who do I think that I’m foolin’?
I’m writing line after line but what am I even provin’?
This shit is confusing, we fightin’ and losin’
I know you only kept me ’round for the love you was usin’, for real
So come on, let it go, just let it be
Why don’t you be you, and I’ll be me?
Everything that’s broke, leave it to the breeze
Why don’t you be you, and I’ll be me?
And I’ll be me
And I’ll be me
