Sia - I Am lyrics

[Verse 1] I am timid and I am oversensitive I am a lioness I am tired and defensive You take me in your arms And I fall into you I have insecurities You show me I am beautiful [Pre-Chorus] Love me or leave me Just take it or leave it It's not that I'm needy Just need you to see me [Chorus] Take me, free me, see through to the core of me Take me, free me, there will be no more pretending Mmmm [Verse 2] I am temperamental and I have imperfections and I am emotional I am unpredictable I am naked I am vulnerable I am a woman I am opening up to you [Pre-Chorus] Love me or leave me Just take it or leave it It's not that I'm needy Just need you to see me [Chorus] Take me, free me, see through to the core of me Take me, free me, there will be no more pretending [Bridge] Now I stand before you with my heart in my hands I'm asking you to take me just the way that I am Please lay down your arms, do you know me? Make me feel safe from harm [Chorus] Just take me, free me, see through to the core of me Take me, free me, there will be no more pretending [Outro] I am temperamental and I have imperfections and I am emotional There'll be no more pretending Mmhmm
