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.
