Who I Am Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I guess I thought that I could be
Aloof and cold and unconcerned (Unconcerned)
And be a man
And I guess I thought that a traveling life
Could mean more than a wife (Than a wife)
And so I ran

[Pre-Chorus]
But time, its space and distance
Have broken my resistance

[Chorus]
I'm a different person now
I need to show you somehow
Who I am
Who I am
Who I am
Today

[Verse 2]
I wonder if you're missin' me
Or do you just remember times (Remember times)
I made you cry, baby?
And once you said you never knew
Who I was, but don't you know (Don't you know)
Neithеr did I?
[Pre-Chorus]
But time, its space and distance
Havе broken my resistance

[Chorus]
I'm a different person now
I need to show you somehow
Who I am
Who I am
Who I am
Today

[Pre-Chorus]
But time, its space and distance
Have broken my resistance

[Chorus]
I'm a different person now
I need to show you somehow
Who I am
Who I am
Who I am
Today, baby (Who I am)

I'm a different person now (Who I am)
I need to show you somehow (Who I am)
Who I am
Who I am
Who I am

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
