This Is My World

Hey friends,

When I was in high school, I would tell my friends that I have a shield around me, which other peopel misinterpreted as a solid concrete barrier not to be broken down. I would often shut myself out from those around me, but would allow only those who I trusted well enough to pierce through this shield to get to know me, and I would assure them that once they break through this barrier, that they would get a one of a kind friendship.

So, with that in mine, there is a song that's really close to my heart. It's Darius Rucker's This Is My World.

The look on your face
It could never explain your heart
And the touch of my lips
It could never tell u my thoughts

And U want me to change
I can't get used to
All U want me to be
I just can't pretend
To be anyone else
Cuz it's not really me

This is my world
This is who I am
And I'm not gonna give up myself
To make your life better

She said
This is how it is
I got my own life to live
And U can either accept me
Or baby

And if it's love
That we share
Then we can withstand all
The obstacles that life brings forth
And I will receive you
For who U are who u were
And baby who U will be

But U want me to change
Girl I can't get used to
All U want me to be
And I just can't pretend
To be anyone else, oh
Cuz it's not really me

This is my world
This is who I am
And I'm not trying to give up myself
To make your life better, now

This is how it is
I got my own life to live
And U can either accept me
Or baby

This is my world
This is who i am
And I'm not trying to give up myself
To make your life better
