This Is Me

You and I have come this far
Guess it's time I tell the truth
‘Cause I have known for a while
But I never wanted to bring shame on this family
‘Cause you asked me not to

But if this God to whom you pray
Is the same God I was raised to believe in
You'd better take it up with him

This is me, here we are
I know I may not be everything you wanted
But this is all I've got
This is me, talk to God
He's the one you really ought to ask these questions
‘Cause I am all his fault
This is me

Why, you ask, would I ever put you and dad through this
When it's only just a phase?
Well, who's to say what's to come
And who are you to judge my love?

Yes, I am different, but my heart works just the same
And I could lie to your face
But you taught me that's no way to live my life
So I'm taking your advice

This is me, here we are
I know I may not be everything you wanted
But this is all I've got
This is me, talk to God
He's the one you really ought to ask these questions
‘Cause I am all his fault
This is me, yeah
This is me
Talk to God

You said he speaks to us when we listen
So listen
This is me
I'm nobody's fault
Listen to your heart

Talk to God
This is me
This is me
You and I have come this far
Guess it's time
