This Is Who I Am by Tape Machines Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm thinking back on all those times
When I felt closed off from
All that I could become
Eager, but too scared to climb
Wanted to please my friends
But it felt like the end of myself
I was shut down
And all drained out
I was lost
So I had to change

[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah, I shook off all the bad vibes
Cut me loose from the pettiness
They turned on me
But now I am perfectly free to be me

[Chorus]
This is who I am
This is, this is who I am now
No matter what they're saying
This is who I am
This is, this is who I am now (Oh)
[Verse 2]
They think that I have lost my mind
That I'm not being true
But thеy don't have a clue
'Cause this is mе when I cut out
All of the shallowness
And everything I supress to fit in
In a small frame
But I won't play your game anymore
So I had to change

[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah, I shook off all the bad vibes
Cut me loose from the pettiness
They turned on me
But now I am perfectly free to be me

[Chorus]
This is who I am
This is, this is who I am now
No matter what they're saying
This is who I am
This is, this is who I am now (Oh)

[Bridge]
I'm gonna let them talk
But I ain't following nobody else
How can I be resentful
When I finally respect myself?
[Pre-Chorus]
I shook off all the bad vibes
Cut me loose from the pettiness
They turned on me
But now I am perfectly free to be me

[Chorus]
This is who I am
This is, this is who I am now
No matter what they're saying
This is who I am
This is, this is who I am now (Oh)
