Jonathan Foster – Read Me For Who I Am lyrics

You read a poem like a telephone book and you often go and take a look
Into the places you know you cannot see
When will you learn that it doesn’t work to sit and watch the sun burn
In the hopes that it will move at a different speed

It’s gonna be what it’s gonna be
It’s gonna be what it’s gonna be

Chorus
When you will read me for who I am
When will you let go of the plans
You’ve made for you, for me and how you think it’s all supposed to read
If you could only let it go
Then you’d be free to watch it grow into the story that we know that it could be
Everyone knows, it’s gonna be what it’s gonna be

I’m waiting on you to stop your waiting on me
To lose integrity and to fail again at the hero of your life
Is it true, or is it myth that one only finds happiness
In the morning after a long and painful night

It’s gonna be what it’s gonna be

Chorus
When you will read me for who I am
When will you let go of the plans
You’ve made for you, for me and how you think it’s all supposed to read
If you could only let it go
Then you’d be free to watch it grow into the story that we know that it could be
Everyone knows, it’s gonna be what it’s gonna be

Bridge
Whey you tie yourself to joy
There’s a chance you can destroy
Only when you let it fly
And learn to say goodbye, learn to say goodbye
Say goodbye, goodbye…

Chorus
When you will read me for who I am
When will you let go of the plans
You’ve made for you, for me and how you think it’s all supposed to read
If you could only let it go
Then you’d be free to watch it grow into the story that we know that it could be
Everyone knows, it’s gonna be what it’s gonna be
