[English]

I've been waking up now in the middle of the night

Losing all direction, should I live or should I die?

When did it get so hard? Won't you tell me that it's fine?

Ha-ah, ha-ah, ha

I've been doing shots just so that I can feel the love

Tell me if it's easy, why can't I can just rise above?

I'm just trying to make sense but it's easier said than done

Saying, "Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah"

And it's hard sometimes for me to understand

I know somedays I can get a little mad

But you can't have the good without the bad

Oh, oh

I can dance when I cry, I can tell you a lie

It's my truth, you can take it or leavе it

We make love thеn we fight

Where there's dark there is light

It's my truth, you can take it or leave it

I am who I am, who I am, who I am now

You can take it or leave it

I am who I am, who I am, who I am now

You can take it or leave it

I'm here on the rainbow, I've been living in the sky

There's so much that I want but I'm running out of time

If everything ain't perfect, chances are that you're just fine

Saying, "Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah"

And it's hard sometimes for me to understand

I know somedays I can get a little mad

But you can't have the good without the bad

Oh, oh

I can dance when I cry, I can tell you a lie

It's my truth, you can take it or leave it

We make love then we fight

Where there's dark there is light

It's my truth, you can take it or leave it!

I am who I am, who I am, who I am now

You can take it or leave it

I am who I am, who I am (this is who I am), who I am now (who I am)

You can take it or leave it (this is who I am)

I am who I am, who I am, who I am now

You can take it or leave it
