I know you've read
So many books
You keep a breast of all
The things you think you should

You've got your own
Home grown philosophy
And it works for you
But please don't try
To make it work for me

I know you feel
You need to prove
That you are good at simply
Everything you try to do

And people hang on
Your every word
That you deliver
With conviction
Though they may just be absurd

Stop trying to change me...
I am what I am...
I don't need you to save me
I don't need you to save me
I am what I am
I am what I am

I don't want you to show me
I don't need you to show me
Because I stand where I stand
I stand where I stand

I just need you to know me
I just need you to know me
Just know who I am
Just know who I am

Just know who I am...
Just know who I am...

Stop trying to change me...
I am what I am...
No, I don't need you to save me
I am what I am

I just need you to know me
Just know who I am...
Just know who I am...

Just know who I am...
Just know who I am...
