How do you give up on the one thing that you love? How do you just stop something that defines who you are? The only place that I can turn, without judgement when I've been burned Afraid that I'm not, afraid that I'm not Strong enough to pretend to be so tough But I promised myself I'd never give up Here I am, for you to see Take it or leave it, leave it, leave it, this is me Right here, right now is all I've got to save me from this Here I am, here I am Sometimes I think if it weren't for my pen that I'd have no voice at all Oh I guess that I'm not much with words But I'm so full of emotion, some say too much passion, and maybe too angry But I won't fake it, I won't take it anymore I won't stand for it! Here I am, for you to see Take it or leave it, leave it, leave it, this is me Right here, right now is all I've got to save me from this Here I am, here I am I wish someone would teach you what it's like to have a broken heart I hope that someone out there has what it takes to bring you back to earth I've tried, but I can only do so much my love, you're so clearly out of touch And when you do finally wake up I hope it kills you that these words are all that's left of us Here I am, for you to see Take it or leave it, Take it or leave it This is me Here I am, for you to see Take it or leave it, leave it, leave it, this is me Right here, right now is all I've got to save me from this Here I am, here I am Here I am
