I Am

[Verse 1]

I am timid

And I am oversensitive

I am a lioness

I am tired and defensive

You take me in your arms

And I fall into you

I have insecurities

You show me I am beautiful

[Pre-Chorus]

Love me or leave me

Just take it or leave it

It's not that I'm needy

Just need you to see me

[Chorus]

Take me, free me, see through to the core of me

Take me, free me, there will be no more pretending

Mmmm

[Verse 2]

I am temperamental

And I have imperfections

And I am emotional

I am unpredictable

I am naked

I am vulnerable

I am a woman

I am opening up to you

[Pre-Chorus]

Love me or leave me

Just take it or leave it

It's not that I'm needy

Just need you to see me

[Chorus]

Take me, free me, see through to the core of me

Take me, free me, there will be no more pretending

[Bridge]

Now I stand before you with my heart in my hands

I'm asking you to take me just the way that I am

Please lay down your arms

Do you know me? Make me feel safe from harm

[Chorus]

Oh, just take me, free me, see through to the core of me

(See through)

Take me, free me, there will be no more pretending

[Outro]

(Take me, free me) I am temperamental

(See through to the core of me) And I have imperfections

(Take me, free me) And I am emotional

There'll be no more pretending

Mmhmm
