Lyrics
WHEN I...
6-12-07
Gwenevered
When I feel, I deeply feel
When I love, I completely love
When I?m scared, anxiety takes over
But when I?m here, I am real, not a saboteur
I don?t like, to half ass things
When I do something, I put my all into it right
I want to remain, true, to myself
Cause I don?t want to be superficial
Chorus:
And when I am me, I am, myself
I don?t want to become nobody else
I kind of like who I am, in me
After all, it?s taken a lot to be this free
When I let down my guard, then I trust
Genuinely I do have your acceptance
Yes I can be bold, and high energy
but I pet peeve fakeness, grossly
When I see someone, I look at them thru
We all have weaknesses, but that?s not what I?m talking about here
I just want your authenticity, to be sincere
Then we can be unpretentiously near
Chorus:
And when I am me, I am, myself
I don?t want to become nobody else
I kind of like who I am, in me
After all, it?s taken a lot to be this free
