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 Covering up so I could not see Covering up so I could not see Your fingers choking me 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 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 our 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 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 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
