I Am Who I Am - BlairxMusic

I can’t help who I am I’m not like everyone else I’m not a wife on a trophy shelf Someone you show when the lights are bright Then hide away when it don’t feel right You wanted something easy Something quiet, safe, and small But I was never made to fit Inside your perfect walls I tried to bend, I tried to break Tried to be the girl you’d take But every time I lost myself I felt my heart escape I can’t help who I am I am who I am A little wild, a little free More than what you want from me I’m not a picture-perfect dream Or a name written in your plans If loving me means changing me Then you never loved who I am I’m the girl who speaks her mind Who dances when the music’s gone The one who takes the long way home Just to watch the coming dawn Sorry if I couldn’t change To make you feel a different way But I won’t trade my soul away For someone else’s place to stay I spent too long apologizing For the fire inside my veins Now I’m done with shrinking down To make somebody else feel safe I can’t help who I am I am who I am A little wild, a little free More than what you want from me I’m not a picture-perfect dream Or a name written in your plans If loving me means changing me Then you never loved who I am I can’t be a Stepford wife Smiling through a borrowed life Looking for a love that’s strong enough To let me shine instead of hide I don’t need a cage called love Dressed up in a diamond ring I need someone who sees my heart And loves every broken thing I can’t help who I am I am who I am A little wild, a little free And that’s exactly who I’ll be Someday someone will understand The girl I never had to change And when they love me as I am I know I’ll never walk away I can’t help who I am No, I won’t apologize again I am who I am
