I Am What I Am - Above & Beyond/Oceanlab

I know you've read

So many books

You keep a best of all the things you think you should

You've got your own homegrown philosophy

It works for you but please don't try

To make it work for me

You have nothing to prove

But you're trying much too hard

Stop trying to change me

Stop trying to change me

I am what I am

I am what I am

No I don't need you to save me

No I don't need you to save me

I am what I am

I am what I am

I don't need you to show me

I don't need you to show me

Because I stand where I stand

Because I stand where I stand

I just need you to know me

I just need you to know me

Just know who I am

Just know who I am

Just know who I am

Just know who I am

I know you feel you

You need to prove you are good simply everything you try to

And people hang on your every word

But you deliver

With conviction

Though they may just be absurd

Leave your armour behind

Free your vulnerable mind

Stop trying to change me

Stop trying to change me

I am what I am

I am what I am

No I don't need you to save me

No I don't need you to save me

I am what I am

I am what I am

I don't want you to show me

I don't want you to show me

Because I stand where I stand

Because I stand where I stand

I just need you to know me

I just need you to know me

Just know who I am

Just know who I am
