[Verse 1]
~#**************#~
I watched my mother miss out on her life
~#**************#~
All those could-have-beens became her sacrifice
~#**************#~
But here in the darkness, its not the future nor the past
~#**************#~
And cause its meant to be with you, boy, it will last
~#**************#~
You met me halfway
~#**************#~
[Pre-Chorus]
~#**************#~
Growin pains, broke some chains in every chapter
~#**************#~
Now we know what it takes for our ever after
~#**************#~
Took some lefts, now were right here where we are
~#**************#~
And I sing
~#**************#~
[Chorus]
~#**************#~
This is me now
~#**************#~
This is me now
~#**************#~
And I took my time, lot of winters, summers, baby
~#**************#~
And I healed my heart, but I love who I am lately
~#**************#~
This is me now
~#**************#~
[Verse 2]
~#**************#~
When I was a girl theyd ask me what Id be (What you gon be?)
~#**************#~
A woman in love is what I grew up wantin to be (In loves what I wanted to be)
~#**************#~
Its my melody, the symphony I sing (Sing)
~#**************#~
And your every word gave me strength to follow my dreams (Yes, you did)
~#**************#~
You met me halfway
~#**************#~
[Pre-Chorus]
~#**************#~
Face to face, tell the truth, no holdin back (No holdin back)
~#**************#~
We put in work, overcame all the disasters (All the disasters)
~#**************#~
Time apart brought us right right heres where we are (Where were meant to be)
~#**************#~
And I sing (And I sing)
~#**************#~
[Chorus]
~#**************#~
This is me now (Love me as I am)
~#**************#~
This is me now (This is me now)
~#**************#~
And I took my time (And I took my time)
~#**************#~
Lot of winters, summers, baby (Baby)
~#**************#~
And I healed my heart (My heart)
~#**************#~
But I love who I am lately (And I do it for myself)
~#**************#~
This is me now
~#**************#~
(Had a lot to learn, had to learn to grow, how to find my way, yeah)
~#**************#~
[Bridge]
~#**************#~
Take me as I am (Can you?)
~#**************#~
And Ill take you as you are (And I will)
~#**************#~
And well build this life together
~#**************#~
I found my shootin star
~#**************#~
The double the shine, the greener the diamond
~#**************#~
One of a kind, the clearer the timing
~#**************#~
Aint nothin change, you know paps goin crazy
~#**************#~
Beep-beep, pull up in a black Bugazzi
~#**************#~
Baby, got a love thatll last forever
~#**************#~
Old things, new things, its a new level
~#**************#~
All gas, no brakes, you could come rev it
~#**************#~
Baby, you know when you want me
~#**************#~
[Outro]
~#**************#~
Im ready, Im ready, Im ready
~#**************#~
This is me now
~#**************#~
This is me now
