don't take me as i am
i'm sick of being me
and i've been searching for a reason
to change who to be.
demand that i alter
my whole personality
cause i'm tired of being this -
i'm weary of being me.
yell at me for wearing
jeans almost every single day
tell me to try harder
when i fail nearly every single way.
don't take me as i am
i'm sick of being me
and i've been searching for a reason
to change who to be.
order that i stop moping
rip my sketchbook from my hands
trash all of the albums
from all my favorite bands.
remove the black nail polish
that has permanently dyed my skin
and make me go to church
to try to compensate for my sin.
don't take me as i am
i'm sick of being me
and i've been searching for a reason
to change who to be.
nothing can be worse
than you forgiving my mistakes
and making me feel real
when all i see is fake.
i hate it when you love me
and tell me that i'm perfect for you
cause all i want is lies
and you never say what isn't true.
