As I Am Lyrics

Suburban child

I made it to my twenties

Had it pretty good

But I never knew how to love me

Father gave me blessings from heaven above

Even all that wishing well wasn't enough

That black sheep

I made it to my thirties

Finally came to terms

With all my demons almost killed me

All my life I thought I was doing it wrong

My true self was buried in me all along

Do you love me as I am?

Would it be so different if I were someone else?

Will you take me family?

As I am

As I am

Let's have a conversation

Maybe I'll understand

Will you take me family?

As I am

Do you love me as I am?

Ooh

Ooh

Ooh

As I am

All my friends they tell me all their stories

Seems like everybody's always going on through something

Some are scared of others leaving them alone

While some are feeling like they never did belong

Looking for love

In everything around me

Thought I would feel special when I saw the world adore me

That was just another way to cover up my flaws

Inauthentic validation does comes at a cost

Do you love me as I am?

Would it be so different if I were someone else?

Will you take me family?

As I am

As I am

Let's have a conversation

Maybe I'll understand

Will you take me family?

As I am

Do you love me as I am?

Do you love me as I am?

Do you love me as I am?

Do you love me as I am?

As I am

As I am

When everything's falling down

Crashing all around

Will you take me?

In your safety

As I am now

Different all around

Will you take me?

As the real me
