I Am Who I Am
[Instrumental]
Hmmmmm
(Verse 1)
Remember late nights, we were young and free,
Sneaking out the window, just you and me.
We danced to the echoes of our wild dreams,
But you still wanted someone not quite me.
[Instrumental]
(Pre-Chorus)
I wore my heart like a tattoo,
Every color tells a story, it's true.
But you saw the canvas, not the art,
Trying to rewrite every part.
(Chorus)
I am who I am, take me or leave,
Not your perfect picture, just let me breathe.
With all my flaws, I'm still alive,
In my own skin, I'll learn to thrive.
[Instrumental]
(Verse 2)
I remember laughing, splashing in the rain,
But you turned the sunshine into my shame.
You said, "Be more like her, she's got it right,"
But I won't dim my fire; I'm ready to fight.
[Instrumental]
(Pre-Chorus)
I'm more than the shadows you see,
More than an echo of who you want me to be.
I'll wear my scars like a crown on my head,
A story of love that you never read.
(Chorus)
I am who I am, take me or leave,
Not your perfect picture, just let me breathe.
With all my flaws, I'm still alive,
In my own skin, I'll learn to thrive.
[Instrumental]
(Bridge)
Whispers in the dark, they fade away,
I'm screaming my truth; it's my new ballet.
I'll run through the fire, I'll dance on the edge,
I'm claiming my life, I'm taking the pledge.
(Chorus)
I am who I am, take me or leave,
Not your perfect picture, just let me breathe.
With all my flaws, I'm still alive,
In my own skin, I'll learn to thrive.
[Instrumental]
(Outro)
So here's my heart, it's raw and unplanned,
I'm breaking the chains; I'll take my stand.
I am who I am, and that's all I'll be,
With every heartbeat, I'll set myself free.
Hmmmmm
[Instrumental]
