This is a very touching song about the aftermath of Cheryl's breakup. Cheryl is fine, yet she is telling her partner that she still loves her, and always will. It isn't too late, and she can always come back.
It is a very interesting perspective to the end of a relationship. Essentially, it is the person who was hurt trying to comfort the one who has done the leaving.
I am ashamed to say that it never even occurred to me to comfort someone who had hurt me. That's one of the reasons I think this song is so special. It treats the subject from such a unique perspective. It was supposed to appear on Sylvia Hotel, but never did. You can watch Cheryl perform This is Me on YouTube.

- Somedays, I can tell
- You are holding back the river with a broken dam
- And sometimes, do you feel
- like you're riding with the wrong reins in your hand?
- Don't tell yourself you have used up all your chances
- This is me talkin now
- This is me who loves you still
- And you know I always will
- Some things never change
- You were always just the one I couldn't live without
- I can't turn some page
- And pretend it's all undone and I don't love you now
- You close your eyes, and remember what I told you
- This is me talkin now
- This is me who loves you still
- And you know I always will
- Let it go little darlin
- Go on back to sleep
- There are no bridges burnin
- Between you and me
- We have years to fill
- Yes and all the days behind us for believin' in
- And we have tales to tell
- And we would always have Paris if we'd ever been
- I feel your heart, beating true across this distance
- This is me talkin now
- This is me who loves you still
- And you know I always will
