"Who I Am" is an unused song from Shadow the Hedgehog. It was originally going to be the opening/main theme for the game, but was replaced with "I Am... All of Me". It was performed by Magna-Fi. The unused song came from Magna-Fi's second studio album "VerseChorusKillMe".

Lyrics

File:Who I Am Shadow The Hedgehog Lost Track

You never really understood me
You always put me down
Like a dog that's beaten over and over
One day I'm gonna take you down

This is who I am
Not a shadow of who I want to be
Try to understand
That this is what you made me
And you're not ever gonna change me

You underestimate my sorrow
All the wreckage of my life
I tried so many times to tell you
The silence down in both of us (No more excuses)

This is who I am
Not a shadow of who I want to be
Try to understand
That this is what you made me
And you're not ever gonna change me

You have made me
You can't change me
You don't know me
This is who I am

You have made me
You can't change me
You don't know me
This is who I am

(Guitar solo)

This is who I am
Not a shadow of who I want to be
Try to understand
That this is what you made me
And you're not ever gonna change me

You have made me
You can't change me
You don't know me
This is who I am

You have made me
You can't change me
You don't know me
This is who I am

You have made me
You can't change me
You don't know me
This is who I am
