Come As You Are - Lyrics by Eric Benet


Lyrics
Here in my mind

Replaying every line

Remembering all of the love we made

You told me only yesterday

Nothing could take your love away


Here in this room so many traces of you

So many nights lying by your side

Sleeping with secrets deep inside

Secrets your eyes could not deny

[
Chorus 1:]


Come as you are

Lay with me

Beautiful lies once more tell me

With all the love in my heart
I'll set you free

Now that your eyes have said good-bye

I found joy so pure

My heart secure

With the love the two of us would share

And though it all seems so unfair

No one's to blame when love's not there

My whole life has changed

Feels like I'll surely go insane
'
Cause my world revolved 'round
a love that never was

Before I say good-bye to love

Just hold me until the morning comes

[
Chorus 2:]


Come as you are stay with me

Kiss me once more before you leave

With all the pain in my heart
I'll set you free

Now that your eyes have said good-bye


Well I know it's not easy

Finding words to let me know

But the pain of make believing
is much more than just letting go

[
Chorus 1]
