The same fullness of life
that I once had with you—
I want to feel that light again.
It won’t be like before;
it will be different — it will be better.
Something new is rising in me,
your roots are fading,
mine begin to bloom and set me free.
Alone — that’s what life is for.
Alone — I’m learning to endure.
Alone — walking through the fire,
finding out that pain brings freedom,
and love is no requirement.
Finding out that pain brings freedom,
and love is no requirement.
[Chorus]
Wear your face with pride,
not with guilt or scars.
You are enough,
just as you are.
I am —
and I remain who I am.
Wear your face with pride,
don’t you hide your heart.
Never feel bad
about who you are
Never feel bad
about who you are..
I am —
and I remain who I am.
[Verse 2]
Never before
have I felt so free,
never before
so close to me.
There’s no more pain
tearing at my core,
'cause now I know exactly
what I’m living for.
I’m not you — I am me.
See me as I used to be,
and see me now: standing free.
I don’t need your shadow
to define my light.
And you’ll see:
I’ll stay in your mind
until you release me,
to move on, to move on,
to move on through the night.
[Bridge]
When I choose this distance,
it’s not to fade away,
but to break the chains between us
and step back into day.
Your cruelty cut deep,
your betrayal left a scar,
but even the crack where light breaks in
shows me who we truly are.
Never feel bad about who you are.
Never feel bad about who you are.
[Final Chorus]
Wear your face with pride,
don’t you dim your star.
You are enough,
just as you are.
I am —
and I remain who I am.
Wear your face with pride,
not with guilt or scars.
Never feel bad
about who you are.
Never feel bad
about who you are.
I am —
and I remain who I am.
Never feel bad about who I am
Wear your face with pride,
you were born to shine
Never feel bad
about who you are.
Never feel bad
about who you are
Wear your face with pride,
not with guilt or scars
Never feel bad
about who you are.
Never feel bad
about who you are.
[Outro]
Leave me alone with myself;
I’ve had enough of you.
But what remains is this truth:
I will never again feel guilty
for once loving you.
I am —
and I remain who I am.
and I remain who I am.
and I remain who I am.
Kraftvoll und befreiend erzählt der Song von Selbstannahme, Abstand und dem Mut, nach Schmerz wieder zu sich selbst zu finden. Zwischen Verletzung, Stolz und Neubeginn entsteht ein klares Bekenntnis zur eigenen Identität. Ein Song darüber, sich nicht mehr für das eigene Herz zu entschuldigen.
