Let It Be Me

[Verse 1]

I grew up scared of my father

His words were known to draw blood

I know that nobody's perfect

But I never questioned his love

When he cursed the television

And that god damn rainbow parade

I wrapped my wounds in religion

That night I learned how to pray

[Chorus]

If you poisoned the apple why plant the tree?

Why plant the tree?

If there's one in the city you're willing to keep

Let it be me

Let it be me, Lord

Let it be me

Lеt it be me, Lord

Let it bе me

[Verse 2]

I'm learning to love the progress

Get more faith with every inch

You're making peace with the thought of growing out of more than your skin

What was once out of the question now gets met a quarter way

It might not be a rainbow but at least it's more than grey

[Chorus]

If you poisoned the apple, why plant the tree?

Why plant the tree?

If there's one in the city you're willing to keep

Let it be me

Let it be me, Lord

Let it be me

Let it be me, Lord

Let it be me

[Bridge]

Let it be me that you treat like a daughter

Let it be me when you give me away

Let it be you who's proud of me sort of

'Cause blood is blood at the end of the day

[Chorus]

If you poisoned the apple why plant the tree?

Why plant the tree?

If there's one in the city you're willing to keep

Let it be me

Let it be me, Lord

Let it be me

Let it be me, Lord

Let it be me
