Take me as I am

[Verse 1] I don’t show up with perfect hair and I can’t drive a car either I’ve got rough edges There are many sides to me. When I fall, I get back up with dirt still on my hands I’m real, not polished smooth and I often run into walls [Pre-Chorus] I don’t want a pedestal for myself just a place that’s safe If you’re truly honest then I know it matters to you. [Chorus] Take me as I am or leave it be don’t put me on a pedestal but don’t belittle me either I’m ready to fight for a good cause I don’t just like it quiet but also loud and colorful (Take me as I am) (or leave it be) [Verse 2] I speak my mind when I need to and I stand by what I say. I’m fair if you are too I know not everyone likes me. I don’t need fake hands no show for every moment I’ll write the truth on the walls and my heart enjoys it 100 percent. [Pre-Chorus] I don’t want a smooth facade I want people to understand me If you want, I’ll be your home then I know it’ll go on... [Chorus] Take me as I am or leave it be don’t lift me up to the heavens but don’t belittle me either I’m ready to fight for a good cause I don’t just like it quiet but also loud and colorful (Take me as I am) (or let it be) [Bridge] I don’t need empty praise no promises on paper scented with roses I need solid ground beneath me and I have that with you. [Chorus] Take me as I am or leave it be don’t lift me up to the heavens but don’t belittle me either I’m ready to fight for a good cause I don’t just like it quiet but also loud and colorful (Take me as I am) (or let it be)
