I don't know why
I always said the good things pass me by
Hard as I try (yeah)
I'm paralyzed until I hear you cry

Can you take me as I am
Can you take me as I am
(hey hey)

If we're brave enough to cave
Then we're brave enough to stay
And hearts can be afraid
We'll be ok
So if it's ok
Can you take me as I am (yeah)
Can you take me as I am

I can be cold
I can look deep at everything I'm told
But if you take my hand (yeah)
I'll do my best to try and understand

Can you take me as I am
Can you take me as I am
(hey hey)

If we're brave enough to cave
Then we're brave enough to stay
And hearts can be afraid
We'll be ok
So if it's ok
Can you take me as I am (yeah)
Can you take me as I am

I don't know the way
Plus you never see it on my face

Can you take me as I am

And it's hard to change
I've been a fool who won't accept delay

Can you take me as I am

Just give me one more day
To learn to love come what may
Cause I know I need to say

If we're brave enough to cave
Then we're brave enough to stay
And hearts can be afraid
We'll be ok
So if it's ok
Can you take me as I am (yeah)
Can you take me as I am (yeah)
Can you take me as I am (yeah)
Can you take me as I am (yeah)

(yeah)
Can you take me as I am?
