[Verse 1]
  And so the story goes,   a girl in tattered clothes,
  a dream that was so close she could taste it.
  Three years and what to show for it?
  Everybody says that you should go for it,
  then everybody leaves you, lying on   the pavement.
Why do I do this I put myself through this,
yeah, I should know better than jumping in head first
lately I'm losing, this silence is bruising
it's my fault for choosing this.
 
[Chorus]
Who am I
when everything I've know is stripped away,
underneath it all am I   still the same?
Who am I, for better or for worse
I need to know if I'm gonna find my way   home?
 
[Verse 2]
  And it's hard for me to eat when I get down,
  I lost more than 20 pounds,
  I lost all my solid ground in   the current.
  And I've wondered if God hears my prayers
  and I've cried out to see if He cares
  and when I hit rock bottom I swear
I could feel Him there
 
[Chorus]
Who am I
when everything I've know is stripped away,
underneath it all am I   still the same?
Who am I, for better or for worse
I need to know if I'm gonna find my way   home?
 
 
[Bridge]
Lately I'm losing this silence is bruising,
my fault for choosing this.
 
[End-Chorus]
Who am I
when everything I've know is stripped away,
underneath it all am I   still the same?
Who am  I, for better or for worse
I need to know if I'm gonna find my way   home?
to who I am.
