This Is Who I Am
Tears Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Come here baby, look deep into my eyes
'cause i been thinking' about the way you treat me

I know there's something, something that you try to hide
It's time to talk about it tell me why oh why

Am I just another girl. Past in your memory?
are you just another page im my diary?

(Chorus)

This, this is who I am you got to understand
Don't waste my time cause I ain't changing

This, this is who I am if you were half the man
You would just let me be the way I am...

This is who I am

Now listen baby, I hope you feel the same
Cause I am tired of this game we're playing

It's time to let me know which way you gotta go boy
Do you believe in all the things you're saying?

Am I just another girl. Past in your memory
Are you just another page in my diary?

(Chorus)

This is who I am - oho
This is who I am

(Chorus)





This is who I am

In Tears' song "This Is Who I Am," the lyrics speak to a lover who seems to be hiding something from the singer.

The chorus is a declaration of self-acceptance; the singer asserts that they will not change who they are for anyone and that if the lover truly cared for them, they would accept them as they are. The song is a powerful message of independence and self-love.


The lyrics of "This Is Who I Am" are relatable to anyone who has ever felt like they needed to change themselves for the sake of a relationship or to be accepted by someone else.

I've been closing the door
All my life, held it in but not anymore
Got two feet on the floor
This is it
I'm stronger than ever before
Pardon my imposition
But this is my conviction
I need to get this off my mind
I gotta be me
Gotta be I
Gotta be who I know I am inside
Can finally breathe, taking it in, look at me flying!
It's always been there, it just took me a minute to find it
If I were to be anybody else, I'd just be hiding
Who I am
Who I am
Lookin' back, back on a little boy
Never gave him a chance to ever be more
I didn't love him but I'm gonna love him right now and forever
It's time to push open the door
Pardon my imposition
But this is my conviction
Ain't nothing left to hold me down
No
I gotta be me
Gotta be I
Gotta be who I know I am inside
Can finally breathe, taking it in, look at me flying!
It's always been there, it just took me a minute to find it
If I were to be anybody else, I'd just be hiding
Who I am
Who I am
It's always been there, it just took me a minute to find it
Who I am
Gotta be me
Gotta be I
Gotta be who I know I am inside
Can finally breathe, taking it in, look at me flying!
It's always been there, it just took me a minute to find it
If I were to be anybody else, I'd just be hiding
Who I am
Who I am
It's always been there, it just took me a minute to find it
Who I am, yeah

This guy deserves more .. legendary voice ..

@HealhoeGaming

@Millard F you are a fool if you think his voice isnt legendary actually and im normally one to think less of performances on here than most people. his voice is within the top 25 to ever perform on agt/voice/xfactor.

@dennis2966

@Millard F And you're a fool for calling someone else a fool just for giving their opinion. I personally didn't think his voice was legendary, but it WAS great. Anyone else that thinks his voice was legendary has an absolute right to that opinion.

@CBLOfficial

@Millard F Hey, that's not cool. A lot of people on this show have the motivation to do their audition to honor their deceased. To accuse someone of using their dead relative for attention with no proof to back it up is not a good thing to do. Please just respect people's opinions. You don't need to be mean because someone was stating their opinion. Also, Simon literally asked why he chose the piece he sang. He was answering the question.

@araya52

@Millard F AWWWW, you must live an empty lonely life, poor thing, btw, your opinion stands......alone!

@richcampbell6808

@HealhoeGaming LEGEND? Never to be heard from again after the show

That was THE golden buzzer of the season and they ALL missed it. Props to him.

@flashbeamer6535

I AGREE!!!!!!!😢😢😢 I CRIED AND WATCHED OVER N OVER N OVER AGAIN! GODS GIFT TO US❤

@Dogooders

How could they miss this? It made Sophia cry and Heidi really loved it and wanted it to be a hit single. I think what happened was they was so overwhelmed by how good he was and sad about him losing his twin, that the mixed emotions caused them to forget that they had a golden buzzer there. If anyone deserved it, WYN did.

@pawmafiazteam3281

BIG FACTS. INDEED IT WAS . SHOULD OF BEEN THE GOLDEN BUZZER RIGHT THERE
