This Is Me...Now

I watched my mother
Miss out on her life
All those could-have-beens became her sacrifice
But here in the darkness
It's not the future nor the past
And 'cause it's meant to be with you boy it will last

You met me halfway
Growing pains, broke some chains in every chapter
Now we know what it takes for our ever after
Took some lefts now we're right here where we are
And I sing

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

When I was a girl they'd ask me what I'd be (whatchu gon' be?)
A woman in love is what I grew up wanting to be (in love's what I wanted to be)
It's my melody, the symphony I sing (aing)
And your every word gave me strength to follow my dreams (yes you did)

You met me halfway
Face to face, tell the truth, no holding back (no holding back)
We put in work, overcame all the disasters (all the disasters)
Time apart brought us right right here's where we are (where we're meant to be)
And I sing (and I sing)

This is me now (love me as I am)
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

Had a lot to learn
Had a lot to grow
How to find my way

Take me as I am (aan you)
And I'll take you as you are (and I)
And we'll build this life together
I found my shooting star
The double the shine
The greener the diamond
One of a kind
The clearer the timing
Ain't nothing change
You know paps goin' crazy
Beep beep, pull up in a black bugazzi
Baby got a love that'll last forever
Old tingz new tings it's a new level
All gas no brakes
You could come rev it
Baby you know when you want me

I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready
This is me now
This is me now
