I
Joseph Williams Lyrics

I feel like I never measure up to who you see
I don't think I'm good enough for you, and I don't match up to the image of me that you have in your mind.

Sometimes I think I can't give you all the love you need
At times, I feel like I can't give you as much love as you require or deserve.

You keep changing everyday
You are always evolving and growing, surprising and impressing me with your new and varied expressions and perspectives.

Amazing me in every way
You inspire me and leave me in awe with your brilliance, beauty, and complexity.

If I could be the perfect man in your eyes
If there were a way for me to live up to your idealized vision of me,

I would give all I'm worth to be a part of your life
I would be willing to sacrifice everything I have and am to be a significant presence in your life.

I could promise the world but it's out of my hands
I could make grandiose commitments, but ultimately things beyond my control might prevent me from fulfilling them.

I can only give you everything I have
So, all I can offer you is everything that I am capable of giving.

I never dreamed I could ever feel the way I do
I never imagined that I could experience such intense and profound emotions as I do now.

I hope and pray I will always be enough for you
I have a deep longing and a fervent wish that I will always satisfy your needs and desires, and that I will be sufficient for you always.

I can only do my best
The best I can do is try my hardest and do everything in my power to make my contribution worthy of you.

I have to trust you with the rest
But there are some things that I cannot control or accomplish on my own, and I have to rely on you and your love to help me through those challenges.

I promise I will hold you
I pledge to embrace and comfort you, to support and stand by you

Through the changes and fears when life seems unclear
Despite any upcoming shifts or uncertainties, I will remain steadfast by your side.

And when I can't be right there with you
And even during times when we cannot be physically present with one another,

I know there's angels by your side
I trust that there are divine forces and celestial beings guiding and protecting you.

I can only give you everything
Again, I can only offer you everything that I am and all that I can provide.

If I could be the perfect man in your eyes
Once more, if there was any way in which I could attain the ideal version of myself that you imagine,

I would give all I'm worth to be a part of your life
I would give up everything within my power and my being to earn my place in your life.

I could promise the world but it's out of my hands
And I could indeed make extravagant declarations, but there may be factors outside of my control that prevent me from fulfilling them ultimately.

I can only give you everything I have
Therefore, I can only offer you my utmost, my all, my entire being, and hope that it is enough.
