when the dust settles
and all of our battles are done
you're still here
you know me better
than no one you read all my scars
like a script
every beating i took along the ride
was a blessing in disguise
and it hurt and i learned oh yeah
when everything's been said and done
and i know that you're the only one
it was worth it yeah so worth it
i realize that i get out of hand
i don't even ask sometimes whatever we do
we're damned
i can't apologize for being who i am
ooh ooh i've done my reconciling
i'm over compromising
i need you to see this my way
and i love me as i am
ooh ooh
love me as i am
love me as i am
ooh ooh
love me as i am
i was rough round the edges
i tried to get ahead just make sense
of this world
i am still standing
and i've been demanding a lot
i got knocked down
every beating i took along the ride
was a blessing in disguise
and it hurt and i learned oh yeah
when everything's been said and done
and i know that you're the only one
it was worth it yeah so worth it
i realize that i get out of hand
i don't even ask for you to understand
mmm and sometimes whatever we do
we're damned
i can't apologize foe being who i am
ooh ooh i've done my reconciling
i'm over compromising
i need you to see this my way
and i love me as i am
ooh ooh
love me as i am
love me as i am
ooh ooh
love me as i am
i want you to love me
ooh ooh
love me as i am
stay right here
ooh ooh
love me as i am
oh don't you give up on me
love me as i am
