Em 
Put me in a box and take it 

Turn the key into the lock 

Don't tell me

Don't tell me if I can't be who I am 
         Am 
I can't be who I am 

Make me afraid to feel it 
Don't tell me if I can't be who I am 
Stomped out my faith, but I don't need it 
Don't tell me if I can't be who I am 
I can't be who I am
