Here I Am
David Morales Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Here I am
I'm too shy to show you my vulnerable side
I'm too near to make it clear emotional suicide
Is this love I'm thinking of I know that
Know that
Close the latch I can't attach I'm sure that I'm sure that

Here I am, I can't give you anything
Here I stand, I can't turn away
Here I am, don't want to cause you pain
Here I stand, alone and on my own again

Death an act of Heaven slept I'm a crazy, lazy
Fall so deep then I can't sleep, I'm slippin' into hazy
Want to share but it's not there, and tell me why
Laugh to live no tears to cry, and I really, want to

[Repeat: x2]
Here I am, I can't give you anything
Here I stand, I can't turn away
Here I am, don't want to cause you pain
Here I stand, alone and on my own again

[Repeat: x7]
Here I am

[Repeat: x7]
Here I am, here I stand

On my own again on my own again
Here I am, don't wanna cause you pain
Here I stand, alone and on my own again

Here I am, here I stand, oh here I stand




Here I am, here I am, oh here I am
Here I stand, here I am, here I stand, here I am
