I Am

I fought the moment I was leaving
Barely breathing
I fall to pieces, couldn't face this
Why would I be leaving?
I was believing
It's you and me against the world
Not saying I was afraid of you
Won't put the blame on you
But I won't change for you
Just when you thought you dropped me
I gotta drop the news,
I'm still existing, I'm still here
I am with or without you
I am breathing without you
I am somebody without you
I am, I am
I am free without you
I am stronger without you
Thought I would never rise again
But I am, I am
First steps that I was making
On this new planet
Never done it, found all I wanted
The world was so forgiving
Open-hearted
Warm and loving, amazing
I never once regretted it
And now brick by brick
I'm rebuilding it
All of the mistakes that I made
Finally led the way
To a better place
I am with or without you
I am breathing without you
I am somebody without you
I am, I am
I am free without you
I am stronger without you
Thought I would never rise again
But I am, I am
First my remedy, now my poison
Walking out into my freedom, oh
I am with or without you
I am stronger without you
Thought I would never rise again
But I am, I am
I'm me, oh
