[Verse 1]
Let me breathe
'Cause I'm drowning in your shadow
Let me leave
Respect me, do not follow me
Believe
I can make my own tomorrow
Let me breathe
Does it make
You feel good 'cause you own me?
Does it take
Your puppet strings to hold me?
How I ache
As you're trying to control me
Let me breathe
[Refrain]
Let me dance
'Til my shoes cry
Let me laugh
Let me be
Let me dance
Let me choose my life
Let me climb the living tree

[Verse 2]
Picture this
When you wake up in the morning
And I kiss
Your sorry ass goodbye
What would I miss?
There's nothing I can think of
As I leave
[Refrain]
[Guitar solo]
[Refrain]
Let me climb......
The living tree
