"Everything I Am" lyrics

"Everything I Am"

I was six years old
Reading suicide notes
You locked the door
So he can't come home no more

Now I'm twenty-seven
In deep regression
The times never quite got better
We just learned how to play
Good weather
Till it's freezing cold

I've been feeling like an only child
And since I've made a home for myself
I finally know what it's like
To be in a room with all doors shut
And not feel confined
Kids hide, kids cry, kids survive, kids should run wild

So yes
I ran
And on a later point in life began
To become
Everything I am

Wild
But not yet free
In my head I'm still nineteen
Unbecoming
What you'll never understand

Walked on my toes
So well
I danced
I ran
And on a later point in life began
To become
Everything I am
Everything I am
Everything I am

I was often told
I'm too kind for my own good
But if I'd call you up
And tell you how it was for me
You'd call me mean
And play make-believe
I've misunderstood
And how you did all that you could
When did I stop being good?

Well, since
I'm twenty-seven
In deep regression
The times never quite got better
We just learned how to play
Good weather
Till it's freezing cold

But I'm too undressed
It was layer by layer
You'll always deny it
But you were a big player
Still you're right
I'll always be kind
When you call me home
Still

Yes
I ran
And on a later point in life began
To become
Everything I am

Wild
But not yet free
In my head I'm still nineteen
Unbecoming
What you'll never understand

Walked on my toes
So well
I danced
I ran
And on a later point in life began
To become
Everything I am
Everything I am
Everything I am

Would you like
Everything I am

You said
Maybe not now
Maybe not yet
Maybe not ever
Maybe not today
Maybe not right now

Maybe not now
Maybe not yet
Maybe not ever
Maybe not today
Maybe not right now

You're not feeling well
You can't take this conversation
Everything I am
Is too much for you to understand

Maybe not now
Maybe not yet
Maybe not ever
Maybe not today
Maybe not right now

Maybe not now
Maybe not yet
Maybe not ever
Maybe not today
Maybe not right now

Everything I am
Is too much for you to understand
Everything I am
Is too much for you to understand

Maybe not now
Maybe not yet
Maybe not ever
Maybe not today
Maybe not right now

Maybe not now
Maybe not yet
Maybe not ever
Maybe not today
Maybe not right now

Everything I am
Is too much for you to understand
