Lose Me

if i can't be who you want me to be
no one's forcing you to stay
if i won't say what you want me to say
it might be better anyway
if i move on down the highway
find another place
leave you to yourself
to find another way

(chorus)
and let you lose me
somewhere in the stars
you can lose me
and stay right where you are
nothing would be better
than this if we were wrong
you should lose me
giddy up and carry on

if you don't need what i wanted to give
and i've nothing else you need
if you don't see what you need in me
if i can't bring you up to speed
i should move on down the highway
find another place
leave you to yourself
to find a better way

and let you lose me
somewhere in the stars
you can lose me
and stay right where you are
nothing would be better
than this if we were wrong
you should lose me
giddy up and carry on

(bridge)
i never meant that i should be a chain
that was holdin' on to you
i never wanted to be someone else
for some temporary situation
that really has no use

(chorus)
i'll let you lose me
somewhere in the stars
you can lose me
and stay right where you are
nothing would be better
than this if we were wrong
you should lose me
giddy up and carry on
