This is me, who I am at the core, is who I’ll be
And if you want more, you won’t like what you don’t see
Cause I am nothing more, and nothing less
Than the heart God gave me, and then blessed
Oh, I’m so blessed
I won’t forget it
No, not this time
Not this time
No, no, not this time
Pretended, can’t say I haven’t done some of that living
Though it doesn’t mean I’m ungrateful for the way they raised me
Cause I’m in their debt until the day I meet them again
Be it days or decades when I see them in Heaven
I won’t forget it
No, not this time
Not this time
No, no, not this time
Said, this time to the next
“You won’t take this chance.
It’s the only one I get,
And I’m going to learn to live it.”
I won’t forget it
No, not this time
Not this time
No, no, not this time
This is me, who I am, and who I’ll always be
Pretending’s over, it’s time to breathe
