Leona Lewis - I Am Lyrics
Thunder
First, it was heaven
Everything roses and fire
You and I were golden
Now it's armageddon
And I woke up like a fighter
Putting up a legion
You were rising like a star
Reigning like a king
While I was waiting in the wings
And I won't wait any longer
When you left me down, I got stronger
If you want to wait for lightning
I'm on the horizon
Well, I'm coming back with the thunder
Well, I'm coming back with the thunder
Well, I'm coming back with the thunder
Scared that you're a missile
Scared that I would shine without you
So you held me down, down
But this voice was getting loud
And it just wouldn't give in
Cause I was made to sing
And I won't wait any longer
When you left me down, I got stronger
If you want to wait for lightning
I'm on the horizon
Well, I'm coming back with the thunder
Well, I'm coming back with the thunder
With an empty heart, I am free again
Some things have to start, some have to end
With an empty heart, I am free again
Some things have to start, some have to end
But I won't wait any longer
When you left me down, I got stronger
If you want to wait for lightning
I'm on the horizon
Well, I'm coming back with the thunder
Well, I'm coming back with the thunder
Well, I'm coming back with the thunder

Fire (Under My Feet)
I got fire under my feet
And I feel it in my heartbeat
You can't put out all these flames
You can't keep me down in my seat
I got fire under my feet
And I feel it in my heartbeat
You can get out of this place
If you can't take the heat
Fire
I tripped and I stumbled
Watched my world crumble
Sometimes you eat dirt
You live and you learn
The lamb and the lions
The tigers and titans
Afraid to get hurt
But now I'm making them purr
I got fire under my feet
And I feel it in my heartbeat
You can't put out all these flames
You can't keep me down in my seat
I got fire under my feet
And I feel it in my heartbeat
You can get out of this place
If you can't take the heat
Fire
Was drowning in quicksand
Nobody grabbed my hand
Thought it'd bury me
Instead, I'm set free
Moving onto the bigger things
I began to spread my wings
No longer in chains
I'm dancing over these flame
I got fire under my feet
And I feel it in my heartbeat
You can't put out all these flames
You can't keep me down in my seat
I got fire under my feet
And I feel it in my heartbeat
You can get out of this place
If you can't take the heat
Fire
This may not be, not be perfect
But I'm happy and I've earned it
Every tear shed will be worth it
Step by step, ain't looking back
Have no regrets
I got fire under my feet
And I feel it in my heartbeat
You can't put out all these flames
You can't keep me down in my seat
I got fire under my feet
And I feel it in my heartbeat
You can get out of this place
If you can't take the heat
Fire

You Knew Me When
Take a look, look into my eyes
You'll see someone you don't recognize
You'll see someone who looks like me
But I'm not the me I used to be
Found I could fall, but I could get up
And after all, I could hold my head up
I made it out, I made it through
I'm someone now, I'm someone new
But you could say you knew me then
You could say you knew me when
You knew me when I was on the edge
And my confidence was shattered
You knew me when I didn't know my worth
Didn't know how much I mattered
You knew me when you thought you could get me down, no
You knew me when, you knew me then
But you don't know me now
You look surprised to see I've changed
But I've turned the key and I've turned the page
Stepped out the dark into the sun
To a whole new me that I've become
I was scared, had so much fear then
Now I'm free, now I'm fearless
Took too much for too long
I'm someone now, I'm someone strong
And you could say you knew me then
You could say you knew me when
You knew me when I was on the edge
And my confidence was shattered
You knew me when I didn't know my worth
Didn't know how much I mattered
You knew me when you thought you could get me down, no
You knew me when, you knew me then
But you don't know me now
I'm a little wiser, reaching higher
It's a battle but I'm a fighter
This time there'll be no surrender, no
And you could say you knew me when
You could say you knew me when
You knew me when I was on the edge
And my confidence was shattered
You knew me when I didn't know my worth
Didn't know how much I mattered
You knew me when you thought you could get me down, no
You knew me when
You knew me when, you knew me then
But you don't know me now
You knew me then, you knew me when
But you don't know me now

I Am
I thought the moment I was leaving
Barely breathing
Fall to pieces, couldn't face this
Why would I be leaving?
I was believing
It's you and me against the world
Not saying I was afraid of you
Won't put the blame on you
But I won't change for you
Just when you thought you dropped me
I gotta drop the news, I'm still existing
I'm still here
I am with or without you
I am breathing without you
I am somebody without you
I am, I am
I am free without you
I am stronger without you
Thought I would never rise again
But I am, I am
First steps that I was making
On this new planet
Never done, found all I wanted
The world was so forgiving
Open-hearted
Warm and loving, amazing
I never once regretted it
And I'll break my bread
I'm revealed again
All of the mistakes that I made
Finally led the way
To a better place
I am with or without you
I am breathing without you
I am somebody without you
I am, I am
I am free without you
I am stronger without you
Thought I would never rise again
But I am, I am
First my remedy, now my poison
Won't get down to love until I'm afraid to live
Oh yeah
I am with or without you
I am stronger without you
Thought I would never rise again
But I am, I am
Ooh yeah
I am me
Ohhhh

Essence Of Me
Let me take these clothes off, throw them in the fire
Blowing hair in the wind, let spirit guide me
No limitations, it's a brand new day
It's a new horizon, this is who I am
This is what I want
Oh, I'm breaking free
I'm taking the leap
These borders are deep
I'm feeling, I'm feeling the essence of me
These mountains are steep
But there's no stopping me
I'm feeling, I'm feeling the essence of me
The essence of me, the essence of me
The essence of me, the essence
I've been everything you wanted me to be
Let you chip away at my self-esteem
Oh, you spoke so loud I couldn't hear myself
And all your runaway judgments no longer pin me down
You can't pin me down, they can't pin me down
Oh, I'm breaking free
I'm taking the leap
These borders are deep
I'm feeling, I'm feeling the essence of me
These mountains are steep
But there's no stopping me
I'm feeling, I'm feeling the essence of me
The essence of me, the essence of me
The essence of me, the essence
I'm standing in the flames
Still gotta overcome
Every little victory
Take 'em one by me
I'm waking up stronger
Putting all my love 'round one
Now it's on, bring it on, bring it on
Oh, I'm breaking free
I'm taking the leap
These borders are deep
But I'm feeling, I'm feeling the essence of me
These mountains are steep
But there's no stopping me
I'm feeling, I'm feeling the essence of me
The essence of me, the essence of me
The essence of me, the essence
Got nothing to fear but my own fears

I Got You
When the rain won't stop
When you feel unloved
When you try so hard
And it all falls apart
When a promise breaks
When the colors fade
When the world looks grey
And you can't find your way
I got you ooh
I got you ooh
I got you ooh
Through the darkness
And the lightness
When the rain won't stop
When you feel unloved
When it all falls through
I got you
I will hold your hand
I'll be by your side
When it all falls through
I got you
When you lose your faith
When you're out of place
When the water's deep
And it's hard to breathe
When the bottles close
When you've lost control
Hope against all hope
So far from home
I got you ooh
I got you ooh
I got you ooh
Through the darkness
And the lightness
When the rain won't stop
When you feel unloved
When it all falls through
I got you
I will hold your hand
I'll be by your side
When it all falls through
I got you
When the rain won't stop
When it all falls through
I got you

Power
Gonna release my restless heart
Unlearn all of the things you taught
Woke up now I can't keep standing still
Gotta run, fill my lungs with the love I feel
I feel, I I
I got the power
Ooh, power
I feel the power
Power
Take a deep breath, I'm jumping in
This is where you end and I begin
See the world through my kaleidoscope
I am the one I've been waiting for
I've been waiting for
I got the power
Ooh, power
I feel the power
Ooh, power
Sometime it feels like
Life is flashing right by
Sometimes it feels like
Life is flashing right by
I feel the power
Ooh, power
I feel the power
Ooh, power

Another Love Song
How'd you break through my resistance?
Or the barriers I built
My head refused to listen
But my heart knows how I feel
Tried to tell myself it's useless
Let the butterflies just flutter by
But your hold on me, it's worthless
Never thought that I'd...
Never thought I'd write another love song
Never thought I'd say these words to you
Never thought I'd write another love song
But I can't keep on fighting with you
I love you (I, I love you)
I love you (I, I love you)
I love you (I, I love you)
I do, I love you
Didn't take "no" for answer
Why'd you let me torture you?
When I made you keep your hands off
Stick around and follow the rules
Gladiator with a sweetness
Holding heaven in your arms
Tried to scare you, but you're fearless
Won the battle for my heart
Never thought I'd write another love song
Never thought I'd say these words to you
Never thought I'd write another love song
But I can't keep on fighting with you
I love you (I, I love you)
I love you (I, I love you)
I love you (I, I love you)
I do, I love you
I love you
I love you, you
I, I love you
I, I love you
Never thought about...
(I, I love you)
Never thought I'd write another love song
Never thought I'd say these words to you
Never thought I'd write another love song
But I can't keep on fighting with you
I love you (I, I love you)
I love you (I, I love you)
I love you (I, I love you)
I do, I love you

Thank You
If I've ever put you through hell
Only called when I needed help
If I've only thought of myself
Couldn't find the words to say what I felt
If I've ever lied to your face
Shut you out to keep you away
You'd always give and I'd always take
Yes, it took some time for me to say
Thank you, thank you
For seeing the best and the worst of me
The angel underneath
Thank you
When I had trouble finding my way
You showed me I am not my mistakes, no
And that dreams are meant to be lived, not to be chased
And our hearts get stronger after they break
So thank you, thank you
For seeing the best and the worst of me
The angel underneath
Thank you
Cause I wouldn't be here without you
How could I ever doubt you
Slamming doors didn't stop you
Oh, you made me face up to
I wouldn't be here without you
How could I ever doubt you
I was running wild, a reckless child
I'm sorry if I let you down
If I ever put you through hell
Only called when I needed help
Yes, it took some time for me to see
Thank you, thank you
For seeing the best and the worst of me
The angel underneath
Thank you
Thank you, thank, thank you
Thank you, thank you

Thick Skin
You can say anything you wanna say
Hit me, but I'm gonna love you anyway
If you didn't have a wall to hide behind
But you fell to pieces when your eyes were mine
You can throw your daggers, you can sink 'em in
It don't matter, I got thick skin
You can knock me down, but I'll get up again
Cause I'm stronger than your bruises, I got thick skin
Cause I'm stronger than your bruises, I got thick skin
Every time you find another stone to throw
I will pick it up and start to build a wall
Keep up with me [?]
And you were only adding my castle
You can throw your daggers, you can sink 'em in
It don't matter, I got thick skin
You can knock me down, but I'll get up again
Cause I'm stronger than your bruises, I got thick skin
You can throw your daggers, you can sink 'em in
It don't matter, I got thick skin
You can knock me down, but I'll get up again
Stronger than your bruises, I got thick skin
Stronger than your bruises, I got thick skin
Stronger than your bruises, I got thick skin
