Me - as performed by Paula Cole

I am not the person who is singing
I am the silent one inside
I am not the one who laughs at people’s jokes
I just pacify the regales
I am not my house, my car, my songs
They are only stops along my way
I am like the winter
I’m a dark, cold female
With a golden ring of wisdom in my care

Chorus:
And it’s me who is my enemy
Me who beats me up
Me who makes the monsters
Me who strips my confidence

I am carrying my voice
I am carrying my heart
I am carrying my rhythm
I am carrying my prayers

But you can’t kill my spirit
It’s solid and it’s strong
Like a mountain
I’ll go on and on
But when my wings are folded
Like the brightly colored moth
Runs into the dirt, into the ground

Chorus

And it’s me who’s too weak
And it’s me who’s too shy
To ask for the thing I love
And it’s me who’s too weak
And it’s me who’s too shy
To ask for the thing I love
That I love
That I love
That I love

That I love
That I love
That I love

I am walking on a bridge
I am over the water
And I’m scared as hell
But I know there’s something better
Yes, I know there’s something better
Yes, I know
Yes, I know
Yes, I know

Chorus repeat to fade
