[Verse 1]
I've been closing the door
All my life, held it in, but not anymore
Got two feet on the floor
This is it
I'm stronger than ever before
[Pre-Chorus]
Pardon my imposition
But this is my conviction
I need to get this off my mind
[Chorus]
I gotta be me
Gotta be I
Gotta be who I know I am inside
Can finally breathe, taking it in, look at me flying!
It's always been there, it just took me a minute to find it
If I were to be anybody else, I'd just be hiding
Who I am
Who I am
[Verse 2]
Lookin' back, back on a little boy
Never gave him a chance to ever be more
I didn't love him, but I'm gonna love him right now and forevеr
It's time to push open the door
[Pre-Chorus]
Pardon my imposition
But this is my conviction
Ain't nothing lеft to hold me down, no
[Chorus]
I gotta be me
Gotta be I
Gotta be who I know I am inside
Can finally breathe, taking it in, look at me flying
It's always been there, it just took me a minute to find it
If I were to be anybody else, I'd just be hiding
Who I am
Who I am
It's always been there, it just took me a minute to find it
Who I am
[Bridge]
Oh, I
Oh-oh-oh-oh
[Chorus]
Gotta be me
Gotta be I
Gotta be who I know I am inside
Can finally breathe, taking it in, look at me flying
It's always been there, it just took me a minute to find it
If I were to be anybody else, I'd just be hiding
Who I am
Who I am
It's always been there, it just took me a minute to find it
Who I am, yeah
