[Verse 1] Hair’s a little messy, I’m always running late Laugh too loud in movies, talk too much on first dates I cry at every birthday, then dance on every chair You said I’m kinda “extra” Guess I like it there [Chorus] I am what I am, I don’t need your framing I’m not your project, I’m not your saving Take me as I come or just let me go I am what I am, and I’m starting to know (oh-oh~) I’m starting to know (oh-oh~) [Verse 2] Text you back in novels, disappear for days Trip over my own shadow, still sing anyway I’m messy in the middle, I’m soft and I’m loud I’m too much for a whisper Too bright for your crowd [Chorus] I am what I am, I don’t need your framing I’m not your project, I’m not your saving Take me as I come or just let me go I am what I am, and I’m starting to know (oh-oh~) I’m starting to know (oh-oh~) (yeah, yeah, yeah) [Bridge] You wanted smaller You wanted quiet You drew an outline Thought I would try it But I’m coloring past it Out of your lines If that makes me wrong I don’t wanna be right [Chorus] I am what I am, I don’t need your framing I’m not your project, I’m not your saving Take me as I come or just let me go I am what I am, and I’m starting to glow (oh-oh~) I am what I am, and I’m starting to glow (oh-oh~)
