Lyrics of Free to Be Me by Francesca Battistelli
verse
At twenty years of age
I'm still looking for a dream
A war's already waged
For my destiny
But you've already won the battle
And you've got great plans for me
Though I can't always see
chorus
'Cause I got a couple dents in my fender
Got a couple rips in my jeans
Try to fit the pieces together
But perfection is my enemy
An' on my own I'm so clumsy
But on your shoulders I can see
I'm free to be me
verse
When I was just a girl
I thought I had it figured out
See, my life would turn out right
And I'd make it here somehow
But things don't always come that easy
And sometimes I would doubt
chorus
'Cause I got a couple dents in my fender
Got a couple rips in my jeans
Try to fit the pieces together
But perfection is my enemy
On my own I'm so clumsy
But on your shoulders I can see
I'm free to be me
And you're free to be you
bridge
Sometimes I believe
That I can do anything
Yet other times I think
I've got nothing good to bring
But you look at my heart and you tell me
That I've got all you seek
And it's easy to believe
Even though
chorus
I got a couple dents in my fender
Got a couple rips in my jeans
Try to fit the pieces together
But perfection is my enemy
On my own I'm so clumsy
But on your shoulders I can see
chorus
I got a couple dents in my fender
Got a couple rips in my jeans
Try to fit the pieces together
But perfection is my enemy
An' on my own I'm so clumsy
But on your shoulders I can see
outro
I'm free to be me
And you're free to be you
