I Am Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I am your spoken truth
I am the lies in you
I'm gonna make you shine in everything you do
I am your lighted way
And I'm your darkest day
I'm here to help you see: You can rely on me

[Pre-Chorus]
Just consider me your friend
I am until the end
Can I guarantee you life?
I don't think I can

[Chorus]
This isn't the life for me
This isn't the way I wanna be
And let me tell you
Death will come when I'm good and ready

[Verse 2]
I am your peace of mind
Confusing all your time
I'm running through your veins
I am your pain
I thought, by now, you'd know
I'll never let you go
It's time you recognize: I am the devil's eyes
[Pre-Chorus]
Just consider me your friend
I am until the end
Can I guarantee you life?
I don't think I can

[Chorus]
This isn't the life for me
This isn't the way I wanna be
And let me tell you
Death will come when I'm good and ready
This isn't the life for me
This isn't the way I wanna be
And let me tell you
Death will come when I'm good and ready
Death will come when I'm good and goddamn ready!

[Bridge]
Take me by my hand
And let me show you what I am
I'm taking control again
Now I know I can
Take you back to where it all began
'Cause I am

[Chorus]
This isn't the life for me
This isn't the way I wanna be
And let me tell you
Death will come when I'm good and ready
This isn't the life for me
This isn't the way I wanna be
And let me tell you
Death will come when I'm good and ready

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
