Who I Am (Need Water) [Tommy Shaw]

Who I Am
Written by Tommy Shaw
Lead Vocals by Tommy Shaw

Someone hurt you bad and that's for sure
But they won't ever hurt you any more
Somewhere down the road it will be gone
But until that day you just have to carry on

Every time you trip and lose your step
You complain and cry that you need help
But help is gone you just don't know it yet
The race is on and you never placed your bet

So you cry cry cry
All night long
You say why why why
Is my love gone
Say please please
Help me if you can
Call someone and ask them who I am
Who I am

Your eyes feel like a camera in your head
And somehow you just stumbled onto the set
The movie's just too real to walk away
But the end is coming
And the bad guy's gonna pay

So you cry cry cry
All night long
And say where where where
Did I go wrong
You say please please
Help me if you can
Why don't you call someone and ask them
Who I am, who I am
Call someone and ask them who I am
You want to know you better ask somebody

So you cry cry cry
All night long
You say why why why
Is my love gone
Say please please
Help me if you can
Why don't you call someone and ask them
Who I am, who I am

Call someone and ask them who I am
Call someone and ask them who I am

Need water

Interpretation

Someone hurt you before, but they can't do that again. It will take time for that to fade, so you need to carry on until then. You keep replaying the scene like you stumbled onto a movie set and it is so real you can't escape. Just remember, at the end of the movie the bad guy will pay for what he's done. You cry all night, wondering what went wrong and your love is gone, You cry for help, but you've missed your chance. Perhaps you should call someone and ask who I am, because I can help.

Do I sound like I need water? Yes, I'm thirsty.
