Innocent angel watching over me

Covering up in a crown of thorns so I could not see

Guilty by birth, a choice that wasn't mine

Seeding me deep with a terror growing over time



Covering up so I could not see

Your fingers choking me

[Chorus]

Please let me be by myself, I don't need anything

Please let me be by myself, I don't need anything

Please let me be by myself, I don't need anything

Please let me be by myself, I don't need anyone else



Anything just to gain the years I lost

Driven by instinct resolute and I'm the cost

I don't remember existing at all

Only in moments as I struggle not to fall



[Chorus]

Please let me be by myself, I don't need anything

Please let me be by myself, I don't need anything

Please let me be by myself, I don't need anything

Please let me be by myself, I don't need anyone else



In darkened rooms

As I try to look for you

I feel out forgotten days

With nothing to light the way



With all your fears

As a fuel to get me here

I climbed out of others' graves

And swam through a tidal wave



In darkened rooms

When I stop looking for you

I'll illuminate the days

And make sure to light the way



[Chorus x2]

Please let me be by myself, I don't need anything

Please let me be by myself, I don't need anything

Please let me be by myself, I don't need anything

Please let me be by myself, I don't need anyone else
