This Is Who I Am

This Is Who I Am - Vanessa Amorosi

I spend my life trying to do things right

But all I do is fall to my face

With my hands on my head so many times

But then I learnt after being burnt

To get back up and push straight on

Stop the tears people move on on

Well it s alright to be myself

Now I ve learnt to stand

Well it s ok 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 break down walls I hit up high

I don t care if I m fat

Or if you think my clothes are bad

Cos I can go to sleep at night

I m a good person and I ll get by

Well It s alright to be myself

Now I ve learnt to stand

Well it s ok 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

Are you someone are you someone

Are you someone someone like me

You deserve you deserve

You deserve to be free

Cause the world will keep spinning

And you ll be trapped in it

Well it s alright to be myself

Now I ve learnt to stand

Well it s ok to be just who I am

I ve spent years really hating me

Longing to be friends

Now I hope that you can understand

This is who I am
