Let Me Be

It's been a long time
Since I had some peace and quiet, mm
An opportunity
Talk to myself in private, yeah

And I don't have any mirrors at home
I don't have nothing
The clocks on every wall are all wrong
Nothing matters to me
The party's over everyone is gone
Mm, everyone's gone
And I wonder why I waited so long
Let me be

Oh, if you say you love me
Let me be
Please give me some time
Let me be
And a little understanding
Let me be
Oh, for a little while

That's a beautiful picture
Of my unhappy family
No matter how hard they try
They'll never understand me, no, no

And I don't have any mirrors at home
No mirrors
The clocks on every wall are all wrong
I don't care about time
The party's over, everyone is gone
Rather be all alone
And I wonder why I waited so long
Why

Let me be
If you really love me
Let me be
Give me some time
Let me be
And some understanding
Let me be
Oh, just a little while
