Feels like you've built a wall around me
You've tried your best to ground me
Let me explain
That I don't play by any other rules
I won't be nobody's fool
I won't lose this game
There is no way
I can love you with half of my heart
(There’s no way)
It would tear me apart
I am who I am
What else could I be
And I'll stand where I stand
I chose to be me
When you look in my eyes
You get what you see
Understand if you can
That I am who I am, who I am, oh…
Think twice before you try to read me
Before you try to lead me into your trap
You've got no right to play with my emotion
Cause you should know that I'm much deeper than that
There is no way
I can love you with half of my heart
(There’s no way)
It would tear me apart
I am who I am
What else could I be
And I'll stand where I stand
I chose to be me
When you look in my eyes
You get what you see
Understand if you can
That I am who I am, who I am
Oh…no…yeah (don’t try, no way that you can try)
(Think twice before you try to read me)
(No right, won’t let you love, miss me)
Oh, there is no way
I can love you with half of my heart (no way)
I don’t wanna tear me apart…
I am who I am
What else could I be
And I'll stand where I stand (oh, oh)
I chose to be me
When you look in my eyes
(When you look in my eyes)
You get what you see (get what you see)
Understand if you can
That I am who I am, who I am
(That I am who I am, who I am…)
[No right you do wanna love me]
What else could I be (what else could I be)
And I'll stand where I stand (where I stand)
[Don’t try, no way that you can love me]
I chose to be me (chose to be me)
When you look in my eyes
[Think twice before you try to read me]
You get what you see
Understand if you can (understand if you can)
[No right]
That I am who I am, who I am
(That I am who I am, who I am…)
I am who I am
What else could I be
And I'll stand where I stand
I chose to be me (chose to be me)
When you look in my eyes (eyes)
You get what you see
Understand if you can
That I am who I am, who I am
How did I ever get to here
Why do I need you
Why do I have to cry these tears
Where do they lead to
I used to be so strong alone
When I was standing on my own
Now I don't know what to do
Was I too proud or just too blind
What does it matter
When love was in these hands of mine
I let it shatter
The pieces scattered to the wind
I'll never have them here again
But I'll remember how we were
The rest of time
You are my heart
How could I ever let you go
You are my soul
I had to lose my soul to know
How much you mean
To me you are my heart
Ah…yeah
I think I see you everywhere
Isn't that crazy
I still reach out to feel you there
Lying beside me
I've learned a lot since you've been gone
About what I am and what I want
I know I only wanna be in love with you, oh, yeah
You are my heart
How could I ever let you go
You are my soul
I had to lose my soul to know
How much you mean
To me you are my heart
To me you are my heart
There’s the sun to light the day
My colors turned to gray
The day I saw you walk away
Now (now you know) there's nothing left to say
But when I dream, I pray (I pray you were there)
That life could be like yesterday
You are my heart
How could I ever let you go
You are my soul
I had to lose my soul to know
How much you mean
To me you are my heart, oh, yeah
To me you are my heart, baby
To me you are my heart
