Emily Brooks - As I Am

I wish I could tell you all of my deepest parts
And then you would hold me and kiss every one of my scars
I wish I could tell you but I fear your eyes will change
And where I once knew love I'm afraid I will see pain, oh

Take me as I am
For I am who I am
And I am doing the best I can
I don't need you to understand

Please don't erase your love, there's things we cannot change
I just want to be enough and these things got me feeling strange
I wish it were not so, if I could, I'd give it back
But we must learn to grow in sync with a bigger plan, oh

Take me as I am
For I am who I am
And I am doing the best I can
I don't need you to understand

Feels like I'm floating, I walk but I'm not here
It's all an illusion, an idea we build on fear
And it's breaking
The pieces shaking
So clear, oh, won't you

Take me as I am
For I am who I am
And I am doing the best I can
I don't need you to understand

(Oh, won't you take me as I am)
(For I am who I am)
(And I am doing the best I can)
I'm learning to love myself
Learning to love myself
(I don't need you to understand)
Learning to love myself
Learning to love myself, yes, I am
