Lyrics

[INTRO]
Yeah, yeah, it's just me,
Take it or leave it, baby,
Here I stand, no disguise,
This is what you get, no compromise.

[VERSE 1]
I wake up in the morning light,
With all my flaws, I embrace the fight,
My heart is open, can’t you see?
I’m not perfect, but I'm real and free.
The laughter and the tears that I've had,
Life's a wild ride, sometimes good, sometimes bad,
You either love my fire or feel the heat,
This is my truth; it’s bittersweet.

[CHORUS]
This is me, take me as I am,
No masquerade, I don’t need a plan,
I won’t change just to fit your view,
Love me or leave me, what you gonna do?
This is me, I won’t wear a mask,
If you want my heart, just ask,
You either have it all or walk away,
This is me, baby, come what may.

[VERSE 2]
I wear my scars like badges of pride,
Every stumble and every stride,
In a world trying to mold my soul,
Can’t you see? I’m already whole.
With every heartbeat, I stand tall,
You’re drawn to my light, or you can take a fall,
I won’t hide in shadows, I’m breaking free,
This is how love is meant to be.

[CHORUS]
This is me, take me as I am,
No masquerade, I don’t need a plan,
I won’t change just to fit your view,
Love me or leave me, what you gonna do?
This is me, I won’t wear a mask,
If you want my heart, just ask,
You either have it all or walk away,
This is me, baby, come what may.

[BRIDGE]
I’m not your fantasy, I’m real and true,
I need someone who can see right through,
To the heart that beats, so wild and free,
Embrace my flaws, that’s the key.
So take my hand or let me go,
I’m tired of the heavy undertow,
It’s either black or white, there’s no in-between,
Love me for me, or find somewhere else to dream.

[CHORUS]
