This Is Me lyrics

Hey, Momma, remember when we left home?

Damn, I was barely half grown

I kept crying as you sat me on that Greyhound

And tried to reassure me that things would be okay now

But they wasn't, and we both saw it coming, I mean

I was just a kid but I was far from a dummy

And as the pain grew you got more reckless and destructive

Like the time you tried to fight and chase Matt around in public

It was crazy, and I ain't never seen it one way

I just used to think the cops would take you from us one day

And each time I had to be as strong as I could be and more

And take myself to places I had never fucking seen before

Tragic, even in your sanity was madness

You tried to make peace so you could teach me how to grasp it

You should know I'm proud you're doing better for yourself

And that everything you've been made me exactly who I am

And it's you and me, and everything we are is everything we'll be

I swear I'll always love you, I know you feel the same

And I just want to say you made it through the pain

Don't let me go

Set my soul free, let me grow

Don't let me go

Set my soul free, let me grow

Hey, Dee, I know sometimes you fucking hate me

But we've been through a lot and I've been thinking 'bout it lately

We seen a lot of shit some kids should never have to see

Like the shelter, and every night we starved ourselves to sleep

Or like when Daniel used to hurt me and you tried to intervene

Or when I told you I was going to kill you all when you were sleeping

We were crazy, but we had a lot of bad examples

Living how we were living, that's a lot of shit to handle

And every time we turned around it seemed like she was hurt again

Even when she promised us we'd never have to hurt again

And we never had a family

But even with the hatred, we have never not had We

You should know that I'd be here until the curtains close

Even when you lose yourself, here until your hurting goes

You should know I'm proud you're doing better for yourself

And that everything you've been made me exactly who I am

And it's you and me, and everything we are is everything we'll be

I swear I'll always love you, I know you feel the same

And I just want to say you made it through the pain

And don't let me go

Set my soul free, let me grow

I said, don't let me go

Set my soul free, let me grow

Dear little girl inside, everything is fine

We got through all the pain and even got to keep our minds

Sometimes we still get crazy, but not the way we used to

When the love that you know now is nothing you were used to

Sometimes you have to stop feeling sorry for yourself

And love You, that way you can teach anybody else

And if it's pain that you were feeling, you release it till it stops

Or else it will get stronger and just beat you till you drop

You're a lot smarter than you're ever given credit for

Live like a simile, lessons are a metaphor

I hope one day you're strong enough to break free from the cage

And that everything inside you is the reason I be great

And it's you and me, and everything we are is everything we'll be

I swear I'll always love you, I know you feel the same

And I just want to say you made it through to Ra'een
