Just Let Me Be

Let me be a dreamer... Let me float... I've been told that I should settle down Find a boy who won't let me down But every time I try, I end up on the ground And I'm tired of the sound Of apologies that never stick Of promises that break too quick I'd rather be alone with my own tricks Than learn to love a new set of tricks So let me be the one who walks away Before the tears can find my face I've built a castle out of air and lace And no one's gonna tear it down today I'm closing up my porcelain heart Locking all the doors, throwing out the key You can keep your love, your games, your art No one's gonna kill the dreamer in me Some might say I'm running scared That I never really dared To let somebody see the mess I am But darling, I've already ran Through every door, down every hall And I've never found a love that didn't fall So call me crazy, call me cold At least I'm not afraid to be alone So let me be the one who walks away Before the tears can find my face I've built a castle out of air and lace And no one's gonna tear it down today I'm closing up my porcelain heart Locking all the doors, throwing out the key You can keep your love, your games, your art No one's gonna kill the dreamer in me I'm not saying I'll never fall again... I'm just saying I know the way it ends And I've got dreams to chase, worlds to see So if you don't mind... Just let me be... Let me be a dreamer... Let me float... No one's gonna kill the dreamer in me...
