The Way I Am

[[Instrumental]] [[Verse]] I'd take a bullet to my chest Anytime you'd needed it But as the time passes on I see you'd never wanted it come [[Verse]] I know I'm not a perfect kid I know I never was a perfect fit But as the times passes on I see that never meant it [[Chorus]] Why wouldn't you see me, The way I really was, The way I really am, The way I'll ever be. I'm much underestimated But you'll never see Cause for you I'm only part Of a past that never should have been [[Verse]] We were young and you were old You told us you'd be soon gone As kids we never understood why But maybe that better this way [[Verse]] I would never want to believe That this could have harmed me But when I heard it, it broke my heart And I'd be stupid to deny that [[Chorus]] Why wouldn't you see me, The way I really was, The way I really am, The way I'll ever be. I'm much underestimated The way I really am, The way I'll ever be. But you'll never see. [[Verse]] Now I'm adult man taking Control over my own life I will never tolerate any more Of what in my childhood took place [[Verse]] I would never want to believe That those wounds made an impact Changed the way I react But I've learnt my lessons [[Chorus]] Why wouldn't you see me, The way I really was, The way I really am, The way I'll ever be. I'm different now than you think The way I really am, The way I'll ever be. But you'll never see. [[Outro]]
