This Is Me
Emma Roberts Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You made me feel so right
I believed in all your love,
But you started holding on to tight
I don't like pretending for you
Keeping track of the lies is too hard to do
Oh baby let me breath
Love me or set me free
I don't want you to think you know what I should be
I'm just waiting for you to see
This is me, this is me
If you want to stay by my side
You're gonna have to change your mind
I'm not asking for you, to be my prince
Why can't you see my beauty inside
Baby if that's to hard to do,
Then I guess I'm sorry not for me
But for you
Oh baby let me breath
Love me or set me free
I don't want you to think you know what I should be
I'm just waiting for you to see
This is me, this is me
If you could take a minute
Try to believe
I swear, you'd see me shine
Can't you see that
This is me
Oh baby let me breath
Love me or set me free
I don't want you to think you know what I should be
I'm just waiting for you to see
This is me, this is me
Oh baby let me breath
Love me or set me free
I don't want you to think you know what I should be
I'm just waiting for you to see
That this is me
The song "This Is Me" by Emma Roberts is about a relationship in which the singer feels she is not being herself. She sings about a man who came into her life and made her feel good, but after a while, he became too possessive, and she felt she had to pretend to be someone else to please him. She tells him to either love her for who she is or let her go. She doesn't want him to think he knows who she should be and is waiting for him to see that "this is me."
The lyrics express the importance of self-acceptance and not changing who you are to please others. The singer is tired of pretending and keeping track of the lies she has to tell to keep up the image she thinks her partner wants to see. She wants to be loved for who she is, flaws and all.
Overall, "This Is Me" is a powerful reminder to all of us to love ourselves for who we are and be true to ourselves, even if it means being alone for a while. We should not change ourselves to fit someone else's ideal version of us.
