“I Am” is a song about failure and disappointment, but also holds a certain degree of redemption and hope, showing a balanced self-portrait that the protagonist seems to be able to accept.
Don't look down
Keep following my voice
It's all around
The consequence of my choice
And oh, please don't go
I won't forget you
I don't have time for
Got no time to play God
While you were wishing for romance
I was wishing it's over
And I'm wishing I told you
And I'm wishing I'd found her
And now you're hoping for closure
And I am, I am, I am, I am a coward
We will all fall
And they will all talk
And it's all my fault
And I am, I am, I am, I am a coward
And we will all fall
And they will all talk
And it's all my fault
And I am, I am, I am, I am a coward
And we will all fall
And they will all talk
And it's all my fault
And I am, I am, I am, I am a liar
Hold your breath, so I can't take it
Hold your heart, where I can't break it
Guess it's cold, but I'll bend so it's easier
You know, you just let go
And I will never let you know
That I had to lose myself to let you go
Just leave it all behind
If we all pretend I'm sorry
We could all move on just fine
Falling slowly, the skies are above me
And scattered hope has found their way to me
But you know what I forgot
And I know just who I'm not
And I won't, I won't, I won't be who you want me to be
And we will both fall
And they will all talk
And it's all my fault
And I am, I am, I am, I am a coward
The love we lost
No one could have saved us
And that is all my fault
But I am, I am, I am, I am a hero
And we will both fall
And they will all talk
And it's all my fault
But I'm not, I'm not, I'm not, I am not sorry
