[Intro — Folk punk, raw] It's me It was always me It's me Still me [Verse 1] Didn't recognize it For a long time The thing causing the problem Was me Not the circumstances Not the other people Not the timing Me Hard to see When you're inside it Hard to name When it's your own name But there it is Standing in the mirror The source of most of it Still me [Pre-Chorus — Building] Not self-destruction Just recognition Not giving up Just honest [Chorus — Folk punk explosion] It's me I'm the common denominator It's me In every situation Every room I've walked into Something shifted It's me The variable That keeps appearing It's me It's me [Verse 2] Blamed the weather Blamed the city Blamed the people Who came and left Blamed the timing Blamed the system Blamed everything That wasn't me Then one quiet Tuesday Nothing dramatic Just looked at the pattern And there I was In every version Of every story The one consistent character Still me [Pre-Chorus] Not the villain Not the hero Just the person Who keeps showing up [Chorus] It's me I'm the common denominator It's me In every situation Every room I've walked into Something shifted It's me The variable That keeps appearing It's me It's me [Bridge — Crunchy bass breakdown] This could go two ways The me that breaks down Under the weight Of being the problem Or the me that stands up In the wreckage And says okay It's me And if it's me Then I can change it And if it's me Then I have the power The problem and the solution Same person It's me It was always me [Folk punk yell — Passionate high notes] IT'S ME And I'm not sorry for existing IT'S ME And I'm not done yet Every mistake Every wrong turn IT'S ME And I'm still here Still standing Still going IT'S ME [Spoken — Over broken speaker crackle] You know what's terrifying About realizing it's you Is that you can't Leave yourself You're stuck with you For the whole thing Every morning Still you But you know what's Also true about that You're stuck with you For the whole thing Every morning Still you And you Are not finished You Are not done It's you It was always you And you Are enough to work with [Final Chorus — Maximum folk punk] It's me And I choose it It's me I won't fight it Every flaw Every failure It's me And I'm working on it Can't work on What isn't mine It's me It's me It's always been Me And I'm Still Here [Outro — Broken speaker fade] It's me Still me It's me Always me The problem The work The answer Me Still Going Still Me Still Here It's Me
