[Verse 1] You held me like I was something worth keeping Chose my wellbeing over what you need I felt it in the way you kept on checking That I was okay, that I could breathe And in your eyes I saw a home forming Something real, something I hadn't known You wanted me there, that much was certain I never felt so close to not alone [Pre-Chorus] But there's a part of me you step around A piece you'd rather leave without a sound And I feel it in the spaces in between The part of me you wish you hadn't seen [Chorus] I am all of me Every corner, every shade I am all of me Not a thing to be remade Every part of me is worth being loved I am all of me [Verse 2] I used to think that almost was enough That partial love was all I dared to claim But you can't build a home on half a foundation And a fire that's halfway lit still needs a flame I've been folding parts of me away Making myself smaller just to fit But every part of me deserves a welcome Not just the comfortable, the acceptable parts [Pre-Chorus] But there's a part of me you step around A piece you'd rather leave without a sound And I feel it in the spaces in between The part of me you wish you hadn't seen [Chorus] I am all of me Every corner, every shade I am all of me Not a thing to be remade Every part of me is worth being loved I am all of me [Bridge] I am not a buffet You don't get to fill your plate Take the parts that please you Leave the rest beside the gate I come as one whole person Every shadow, every light All of me or none of me That's the only way this works out right [Final Chorus] I am all of me Every corner, every shade I am all of me Not a thing to be remade Every part of me is worth being loved I am all of me So take all of me Or take none of me I've spent too long Being someone's almost No more half love No more apology I am all of me
