I Am Lyrics
James Arthur
Woo-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Woo-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Woo-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Woo-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
I'm a problem, I'm the killer, I'm the cure, I guess
I'm the end, I'm the beginning, the apocalypse
I am something from nothing, I heard 'em say
Rags to the riches, your best mistake
I'm the future, I'm the relic, I'm the "not done yet"
Oh, oh, oh I am... forevermore I'll be
What you wanna believe
All I know, it's too late for me to change your mind
I'll let go, let you decide
What you wanna believe
What you wanna believe
I'm the blaze, I'm the siren, I'm the exit door
I'm the cape, I'm the villain, I'm the metaphor
Or I'm a good gun in a bad man's war, I paved the way
I'm a left hook, I'm a battered jaw, I'm the pain
I'm a preacher, I'm a sinner, I'm a broken Lord
Oh, oh, oh I am... forevermore I'll be
What you wanna believe
All I know, it's too late for me to change your mind
I'll let go, let you decide
What you wanna believe
What you wanna believe
Who am I to tell you what you think you see?
It ain't my business to tell you what to think of me
What you wanna believe
Woo-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Woo-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
What you wanna believe
Woo-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Woo-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
What you wanna believe
All I know, it's too late for me to change your mind
What you wanna believe
I'll let go, let you decide
What you wanna believe
A path of corruption and destruction
(What you wanna believe)
Everyday that they live
They have another opportunity to be saved
Woo-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Woo-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Woo-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
I'm a problem, I'm the killer, I'm the cure, I guess
I'm the end, I'm the beginning, the apocalypse
I am something from nothing, I heard 'em say
Rags to the riches, your best mistake
I'm the future, I'm the relic, I'm the "not done yet"
Oh, oh, oh I am... forevermore I'll be
What you wanna believe
All I know, it's too late for me to change your mind
I'll let go, let you decide
What you wanna believe
What you wanna believe
I'm the blaze, I'm the siren, I'm the exit door
I'm the cape, I'm the villain, I'm the metaphor
Or I'm a good gun in a bad man's war, I paved the way
I'm a left hook, I'm a battered jaw, I'm the pain
I'm a preacher, I'm a sinner, I'm a broken Lord
Oh, oh, oh I am... forevermore I'll be
What you wanna believe
All I know, it's too late for me to change your mind
I'll let go, let you decide
What you wanna believe
What you wanna believe
Who am I to tell you what you think you see?
It ain't my business to tell you what to think of me
What you wanna believe
Woo-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Woo-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
What you wanna believe
Woo-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Woo-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
What you wanna believe
All I know, it's too late for me to change your mind
What you wanna believe
I'll let go, let you decide
What you wanna believe
A path of corruption and destruction
(What you wanna believe)
Everyday that they live
They have another opportunity to be saved
