Lyrics

"This Is Who I Am"
Written by Yves Stilmant © 2025This
Verse 1
I've walked through fire and fading light
Held my tongue when I should've fought the fight
I've chased dreams down the wrong highway
And prayed for strength I never learned to say
Verse 2
I've let folks down, I've lost some friends
Tried to make it right, again and again
I've been the storm, and I've been the calm
A broken man still holding on
Pre-Chorus
But I never faked a single word
I sang the truth in every verse
Chorus
This is who I am -- not some polished line
Just a worn-out soul that's still trying to shine
I ain't got all the answers, but I give what I can
I've got calloused hands and a working man's plan
I've loved, I've failed, I've tried to understand
Flawed but real -- this is who I am
Verse 3
I still get scared, still feel alone
Still find comfort in an old love song
I've got regrets, but I don't run
They're part of me, every single one
Pre-Chorus
I don't pretend to walk on air
But I show up, and I still care
Chorus
This is who I am -- rough edges and grace
A little old-school in a fast-paced race
I've seen the bottom, still made my stand
Didn't always win, but I stayed a man
I've lost, I've learned, I've drawn my own map
Wounded but walking -- this is who I am
Bridge
I'm not here to be your hero
I'm just here to be real
If you're looking for perfection
That ain't part of the deal
Final Chorus
This is who I am -- take it or leave
But don't say I hid what I believe
I've stood for truth, I've stood for love
Even when it hurt, even when it was tough
So here I stand, hat in hand
No disguise, no sham -- this is who I am
