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
