Lyrics

I, I've been on my own

Wasting too much time

Trying to find the light

The switch inside my mind

It's hard to know what's real

The truth of just a feeling

But I can't tell from here

Now I gotta wake up

Been feeling like a stranger

All that I can hear is noise

But I was barely breathing

I'm gonna break through the ceiling

Now you're gonna hear my voice

You cannot define me

You will never blind me

Or take the truth away from me again

Oh, and I'm still trying to finally

Put you all behind me

Yeah, I'll decide just who the hell I am

I'm just a man

It's all I am

It's all I am

The future and the past

Are falling through our hands

And all we have is now

So take me as I am

'Cause it ain't easy

I know you see me

And I'm not ashamed

To show you who I really am

And now I finally wake up

And I don't see a stranger

I remember who I was

And I was barely breathing

Now I'm breaking through the ceiling

Yeah, you're gonna hear my voice

You cannot define me

You will never blind me

Or take the truth away from me again

Oh, and I'm still trying to finally

Put you all behind me

Yeah, I'll decide just who the hell I am

I'm just a man

It's all I am

I'm just a man

It's all I am

You cannot define me

You will never blind me

Or take the truth away from me again

Oh, and I'm still trying to finally

Put you all behind me

Yeah, I'll decide just who the hell I am

I'm just a man

You cannot define me

You will never blind me (it's all I am)

Or take the truth away from me again

(I'm just a man)

I'm still trying to finally

Put you all behind me

Yeah, I'll decide just who the hell I am

I'm just a man
