This Is Who I Am

I spent my life

Trying to do things right

But all I do is fall to my face

With my hands at my hips so many times

But then I learned

After being burned

Step back up, push straight on

Stop the tears, people move on

Well it's alright to be myself

Now I've learned to stand

Well it's okay to be just who I am

I spent years really hating me

Longing to be friends

Now I hope that you can understand

This is who I am

Now when life gets tough

I'm quick to hurry up

I run all day, I run through the night

I put down doors, I head up high

I don't care if I'm fat

Or if you think my clothes are bad

Yeah, I can go to sleep at night

And wake up first thing and I'll get by

Well it's alright to be myself

Now I've learned to stand

Well it's okay to be just who I am

I spent years really hating me

Longing to be friends

Now I hope that you can understand

This is who I am

I need someone, someone, someone, someone like me

You deserve, deserve, deserve to have me

'Cause your world keeps spinning

And you don't try to turn it

Well it's alright to be myself

Now I've learned to stand

Well it's okay to be just who I am

I spent years really hating me

Longing to be friends

Now I hope that you can understand

This is who I am

Yeah

This is who I am

Oh, take a breather, this is who I am
