Jonathan Foster - Read Me For Who I Am Lyrics
You read a poem like a telephone book and you often go and take a lookInto the places you know you cannot seeWhen will you learn that it doesn’t work to sit and watch the sun burnIn the hopes that it will move at a different speedIt’s gonna be what it’s gonna beIt’s gonna be what it’s gonna beChorusWhen you will read me for who I amWhen will you let go of the plansYou’ve made for you, for me and how you think it’s all supposed to readIf you could only let it goThen you’d be free to watch it grow into the story that we know that it could beEveryone knows, it’s gonna be what it’s gonna beI’m waiting on you to stop your waiting on meTo lose integrity and to fail again at the hero of your lifeIs it true, or is it myth that one only finds happinessIn the morning after a long and painful nightIt’s gonna be what it’s gonna beChorusWhen you will read me for who I amWhen will you let go of the plansYou’ve made for you, for me and how you think it’s all supposed to readIf you could only let it goThen you’d be free to watch it grow into the story that we know that it could beEveryone knows, it’s gonna be what it’s gonna beBridgeWhey you tie yourself to joyThere’s a chance you can destroyOnly when you let it flyAnd learn to say goodbye, learn to say goodbyeSay goodbye, goodbye…ChorusWhen you will read me for who I amWhen will you let go of the plansYou’ve made for you, for me and how you think it’s all supposed to readIf you could only let it goThen you’d be free to watch it grow into the story that we know that it could beEveryone knows, it’s gonna be what it’s gonna be
