As I Am

Take me as I am

For I fear that I won’t change

First steps then run run run

Places start to look the same

Now I could lie awake at night

Toss and turn about the not so good

The "what I probably should’ve done"'s

I’ve always thought of myself as a lover not a fighter

I’m not trying to knock you out, to throw no punch

If you can believe I tried my best not to hurt anyone

Take me as I am

For this is real and that's ok

Hand out your reprimands

I’ll tell ‘em first I caused you pain

Now I could change

If I wanted to

My disposition could improve

And I am as I am

Trying but terrible

An honest effort in my hands

I extend a trying load

Now I could lie awake at night

Toss and turn about the not so good

The "what I probably should’ve done"'s

I’ve always thought of myself as a lover not a fighter

I’m not trying to knock you out, but to overcome

If you can believe I tried my best not to hurt anyone
