"Just The Way I Am" lyrics

I don't think they understand what it took for me to become this

My past haunts me
Memories that want me sad
My past calls me
Like an X that wants me back
I'm not for everybody
But that doesn't make me bad
I'm not
I'm not sorry
For the way I am

Just the way I am
Just the way I am
If you don't understand, then you gon' see
Just the way I am
Just the way I am
I'll always be
Just the way I am

Hey. Remembered me?
I'm the back of your head
I'm your memories
Yeah. I'm getting you, but you're not getting me
I may be dead to you, but you're not dead to me

I'm the parts you can't get rid of, rid of
The dark that says, "Give up. Give up."
The scars you never healed from, healed from
So, where you gonna run?

My past haunts me
Memories that want me sad
My past calls me
Like an X that wants me back
I'm not for everybody
But that doesn't make me bad
I'm not
I'm not sorry
For the way I am

Just the way I am
Just the way I am
If you don't understand, then you gon' see
Just the way I am
Just the way I am
I'll always be
Just the way I am
