Who Am I
Nik Day Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That everyone makes their own mistakes
And everyone's trying
As much as they can
It's easy to ignore
Everything that I need to change
Cause I'm looking
At everybody else instead
If I don't forgive and forget it
Than I'm sure I'll regret it inside
So I'll try
Who Am I to judge?
Who am I to think I know their hearts?
Who am I to think I'm right
To think that I'm better than they are?
Who am I to turn the other way
Because of the mistakes that someone's made?
When I got mine
Who am i?
Who am i?
It's easy to forget
That everyone it's hurting just as much
We've all got our problems
We've got our own imperfect ways
It's better to remember
That we're all in this together
And our Heavenly Father
Loves us all the same
So if I don't forgive and forget it
Than I'm sure I'll regret it inside
So I'll try
Who Am I to judge?
Who am I to think I know their hearts?
Who am I to think I'm right
To think that I'm better than they are?
Who am I to turn the other way
Because of the mistakes that someone's made?
When I got mine
Who am i?
Who am i?
Nobody is perfect
And this is all in the past
Everyone deserves a second chance
Who Am I to judge?
Who am I to think I know their hearts?
Who am I to think I'm right
To think that I'm better than they are?
Who am I to turn the other way
Because of the mistakes that someone's made?
When I got mine
Who am i?
Who am i?
Who am i?
