The Way That I Am

I’ve been taught disappointment
Is only the world trying to open your eyes
To the truth, whatever that means
That it’s only your hope has been telling you lies
And while some tend to wish that their lovers will change
Others are praying things will just stay the same
Won’t you love me the way that I am?
And I’ll love you the best that I can
Well we’ve only this moment to show how we feel
Won’t you love me the way that I am?
I know you wish I was different.
I wish I could be more like, the man of your dreams
And I’d wave a magic wand if I could
But bad habits or karma or fate intervene
And sometimes I believe that it’s out of my hands
But I want to you to know, I’m doin’ the best that I can
Won’t you love me the way that I am?
And I’ll love you the best that I can
Well we’ve only this moment to show how we feel
Won’t you love me the way that I am?
‘Cause I do, I love you.
Even when I don’t make a sound
And I know, that you love me too
We’ll stay together forever if we just stick around
Won’t you love me the way that I am?
And I’ll love you the best that I can
Well we’ve only this moment to show how we feel
Won’t you love me the way that I am?
