Take Me As I Am

You’re too late to apologize to me For your foolish, senseless decision-making Accidents happen, but you purposely Lied to me in my face – teary-eyed, terribly shaking Can’t deny your lack of honesty hurt me badly You wrecked me up real good, so far from free I can’t stand the fact you drive me insane once again I can’t handle the truth, so I remain ignorant then You never took me as I am, as I truly am My true self broke free like a ruined dam You left me with nothing but rageful regret You stole my happiness and made me upset If I can seek a somewhat righteous approach, You can have my mercy, you filthy roach… I need you though and I hate to admit it I want you to know that I still care a bit I conjured up emotions and large feelings towards you Engross me with your lovely, joyous spirit you once had I endured so many hardships that hit me out of the blue Sick to the stomach, but I learned to fake feeling so glad Take me as I am, as I am And I will do the same to you, to you You stare at me like a cam I feel heartless in your shoes, who knew Somehow, I lost my mind long ago and I grieve Oh, here am I, love, so take me as I am, as I truly am I take a quick bow before I take my sulky leave Oh, I am here, darling, so accept me for who I am Someday, you will see me through the lows and flaws Oh, here am I, seeking things from above – I am an obedient lamb, my long-lost love I take my time to try to explain myself to you, to you But, nothing seems to register because you’re cruel Dear friend, Will you accept me for who I am? Ah, man… Reject me not and just take me for who I am!
