"WHO I AM" lyrics
Parker Jack & Chyde Lyrics
(How am I supposed to love you?)
When I don't love who I am?
(And how could I give you all of me?)
If I'm only half a man
('Cause I'm a sinking ship that's burning)
So let go of my hand
(Oh, how could I give you all of me?)
When I'm only half a man?
(How am I supposed to love you?)
Yeah
I wonder if my father was around, would he be proud of me?
The thoughts inside my head are like people; they always crowding me
Rain is always pouring, I feel like it's always drawn on me
Nothing I can do to stop it, it happens too often
I dig myself a hole and replace the space with a coffin
Feel like I can't do worse and then I find myself ways to top it
Maybe I'm the reason, bring my own self down
Committing all this treason by bringing myself doubt
I got problems that I feel, but I can't hold on no hands
I got things that I've been doing but ain't going as planned
Left is right, right is left, so I don't know which direction
You can tell me to go straight, then I go straight to depression
I don't wanna be a person that I hate, but I am
Got anxiety in public, I ain't shaking no hands
Alleyways is where I'm walking I'ma blend in with fans
Head low, hoodies up, only half of a man
(How am I supposed to love you?
When I don't love who I am?
How can I give you all of me
When I'm only half a man?
'Cause I'm a sinking ship that's burning
So let go of my hand
Oh, how can I give you all of me?)
Yeah
(When I'm only half a man?)
The demons say "hello," they want to show me Hell
How can I love you if I don't know how to love myself?
Wish I could pause for a second just to show and tell
But the show must go on, I guess
Feel like I did what I could
Feel like I did what I should
Feel like I'm misunderstood
When I saw where they stood
Would reality be different if you respected what I said then?
I wonder if my brother is protecting me from Heaven
These people try to get inside my mind, I can't let them
Like I could let that fake shit slide, nah, forget them
Thought I'd be if I mattered to the rest
As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
I'm realizing, I'm closing my eyes and holding my breath
Hoping that the angles hold me close
Don't let go of me yet
Call me a 'Sinner' for feeding the warrior in my chest
Half a man standing in the mirror, it's the first time we meant
But how am I supposed to love you when I don't love who I am?
How am I supposed to love you?
When I'm only half a man?
'Cause I'm a sinking ship that's burning
So let go of my hand
Oh, how can I give you all of me
When I'm only half a man?
When I don't love who I am?
(And how could I give you all of me?)
If I'm only half a man
('Cause I'm a sinking ship that's burning)
So let go of my hand
(Oh, how could I give you all of me?)
When I'm only half a man?
(How am I supposed to love you?)
Yeah
I wonder if my father was around, would he be proud of me?
The thoughts inside my head are like people; they always crowding me
