When I tell you my story
I'm not looking for pity
It's just my way to tell you
Why I am the way I am
.
When I tell you my story
My horror and pain
I'm not looking for your sympathy
What I'm trying to say
Is
Why I am who I am
.
When I tell you my past
And my deep hunting shames
I'm not trying to outdo you
Or the pain from your past
.
I just want you to understand
How I grew up
And how it made me stronger
So that I can endure to the last
I am what I am
But there's no changing the past
