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
