I know you've read, so many books

You keep abreast 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

(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 need you to show me)

Because I stand where I stand

(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 need to prove

That you are good at simply everything you try to do

And people hang, on your every word

That 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

(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 need you to show me)

Because I stand where I stand

(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.
