The Material - Love me or leave me

When you first smiled I would do anything to be with you
I lost myself, I'm not the same
I've changed the things you asked me too
Became somebody else for you,
So love me now or leave me this way
Leave me this way.

The seasons came and then again
And every day I played pretend
I thought that we, would be okay
That February brought the way
And washed the lies I'll have my face,
So love me now or leave me this way.

'Cause I can't be only you right now
I can't be all that you need
I won't go on playing alone
Once you set me free
Well love me for me!
That you love me for me.

So why do we fall apart and hide the pieces in the dark
I finally learned from my mistakes
I share the mess that I was seen
This is we in my own skin
So love me now or leave this way.

'Cause I can't be only you right now
I can't be all that you need
I won't go on playing alone
Once you set me free

I wanted to believe in us
But I can't never be enough
To leave it to the girl of your dreams
I finally woke up today
Realize that I'm okay for who I am so love me for me!
Could you love me for me?

Love me or leave me this way
Leave me this way, leave me this way

'Cause you can't be all that I want
No, you can't be all that I need
I won't go on playing alone
Once you set me free
So I can't be me, yeah!
I won't go on playing alone
Once you set me free.
