Who I Am

Sitting here reminiscing
Thinking about all the things I’m missing
The people I grew to love
The lessons I learned every day
How I miss them in every way
They taught me to tolerate
They gave me a chance so I’d understand
And I took that chance, I took that chance

I took that chance without looking back
Loved them for all they lacked
I’d runaway at the end of the day
Just to laugh all my troubles away
Held me up so I wouldn’t fall
Made fun of me ‘cause my hands are small
They loved me for who I am
And I loved them for who they are
And that’s why I am, who I am today
Who I am today

We’d sit in class getting bored
Laugh at things we did before
Point to each other all our flaws
Would laugh at each other in spite of it all
As soon as that bell would ring
We’d rush to the door just to laugh some more
We’d all meet up together
Create memories with each other
Never wanting it to end
Wish I could go back again
And take that chance, take that chance

I took that chance without looking back
Loved them for all they lacked
I’d runaway at the end of the day
Just to laugh all our troubles away
Help me so I wouldn’t fall
Made fun of me ‘cause my hands are small
They loved me for who I am
And I love them for who they are
And that’s why I am who I am today
Who I am today

It’s sad to think how time has passed
But deep down I knew it wouldn’t last
Thinking about all those trips
Everyone I’ll forever miss
So hold on to those memories dear
You never know if you have another year
And you’ll want them back
But you can’t always get them back
So take that chance, take that chance
As soon as you can

I took that chance without looking back
Loved them for all they lacked
I’d runaway at the end of the day
Just to laugh all my troubles away
Help me so I wouldn’t fall
Made fun of me ‘cause my hands are small
They loved me for who I am
And I loved them for who they are
And that’s why I am, who I am today
That’s why I am, who I am today
Today, today
Who I am today
