The Way That I Am Lyrics

You want me to change but I think I'm okay

You used to say that you liked me this way

I'm trying to do the best that I can

I love you just the way that I am

I love you just the way that I am

Time's slowing down a little each day

There's work to be done and dues to be paid

Life can be hard on the installment plan

I love you just the way that I am

I love you just the way that I am

VW van left in the weeds

A forgotten part of our history

Things didn't turn out the way that we planned

I love you just the way that I am

I love you just the way that I am

Now we've come to the bridge

Don't want to jump off

The water's too deep

And the current's too strong

Now we're out on the edge

High on the wall

If you push me now I'm ready to fall

Down on my luck on the outside

Too soon to run too late to hide

I try to get back to where we began

I love you just the way that I am

I love you just the way that I am

Cooler heads don't always prevail

Sometimes it seems like I'm destined to fail

I try to hold on the best that I can

I love you just the way that I am

I love you just the way that I am
