i am what i am
and i do what i do
and now i see
it's not 'cause of you

you made me what i am
but i choose to stick with it
so i am at fault
i just dont want to admit it

though i try to change
i always bail
when it comes to the test
i always fail

so here i am
and here i'll stay
waiting for help
to come my way
