[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 a** 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
