HER (Lyrics)
Verse
When I was 6 years old,
my mom and dad left me on hold but I didn’t know.
They agreed to cut my hair short,
but for me it wasn’t short enough though.
I played soccer with the boys, in my team I was always known as the girl who were bold, but the truth be told, I was insecure, I lost all control.
Chrous
I am who I am, so love me cus I can’t change, no I can’t change.
Verse 2
When I was 10 years old I got really sick and I refused to eat.
I started to feel smarter as I punished myself but I fell in deep.
Effect of society lead to anxiety, my sexuality has also been hidden for me,
in ways I don’t even understand, cus I’ve ignored parts that makes me to who I am.
Chrous
I am who I am, so love me cus I can’t change, no I can’t change.
Verse
So I’m singing for that little girl in me. I wish I could have set her free. It’s been painful to watch her suffer, it leaves me feeling guilty like I failed her. But look where I’m at today, she still remains. No matter how dark, we’re not over by far, so I say to myself, believe in yourself.
Chrous
I am who I am, so love me cus I can’t change, no I can’t change.
Outro
So love me like I love her, love me like I love her, love me like I love her.
Love me like her.
