The Way I Am

[Verse 1] They don’t know me, they don’t see my face I shine in the city, but I’m just out of place Passing by, they don’t know my name Another day, just the same, nothing changes, no fame [Pre-Chorus] You smile at me, but it fades away No love in your eyes, just passing by today If you want to know, I’m hiding in plain sight What I hold inside, you’ll never get it right [Chorus] Why don't I have the love, with all this I hold? I could have it all, but it still feels cold These average people just walk on by, Maybe I'm too much, that's why they don’t try [interlude] [Verse 2] They glance for a second, but then they leave I walk my own way, no need to believe Like the wind, I just drift on by Never tied down, I’m free, I won’t comply [Pre-Chorus] They pass me by, but they don’t really see Maybe I’m too much, too wild, too free If they knew me, they’d be scared away My heart’s not for sale, won’t be betrayed [Chorus] Why don't I have the love, with all this I hold? I could have it all, but it still feels cold These average people just walk on by, Maybe I'm too much, that's why they don’t try [Chorus] Why don't I have the love, with all this I hold? I could have it all, but it still feels cold These average people just walk on by, Maybe I'm too much, that's why they don’t try "But I've got more to give, I’m ready to fly We're more than they see, it" [break down] [Bridge] This street’s my own, I’ll keep on the ride Under city lights, I’ll never hide If you come near, I’ll turn away ‘Cause I’ve already got all of me, I’m here to stay [Chorus] Why don't I have the love, with all this I hold? I could have it all, but it still feels cold These average people just walk on by, Maybe I'm too much, that's why they don’t try [instrumental solo] [Outro] I’ve already got all of me, I’m here to stay [End]
