lyrics

Tell me what it means to be me
Because I've been trying to learn since I was 13
But everything that keeps me distinct
Just fades to nothing
And tell me what it means to be free
Because I've been locked in myself for most of history
I'm caught in the teeth of my own belief
That I am nothing more than wasted space

Wasted space and time
Just wasted space and time

The cracks in my foundations have found footholds in my veins
The past inside my present keeps invoking me by name
I want to be enough for you, I just wish that I could change
But all I can be, all I can be is still just me...so just let me be

I'm bordering on certainty
That nothing is clear except uncertainty
My comfortable past is littered with cracks
That paint my story in the grayest shade
So show me who I'm meant to be
Because the kid that I was is so unworthy
I'm trying to keep every broken piece
While I am searching, I'm always searching

Through wasted space and time
So much wasted space and time

The cracks in my foundations have found footholds in my veins
The past inside my present keeps invoking me by name
I want to be enough for you, I just wish that I could change
But all I can be, all I can be is still just me...so just let me be
