As I Am

(album: The Beginner's Guide To Throwing Shapes - 1989)

How well do you still know me?
There's more to me than meets the eye
You seem to look right through me
I know you'd like to change my mind
Your eyes surround
Within, without
Just take me as I am

Won't you take me as I am?
You will break me as I am
You're never too far from me
Your hand is always reaching out
Although you think you're helping
What happens when you're not around?
Your eyes surround
Within, without
Just take me as I am

Won't you take me as I am?
You will break me as I am
You are the one, and whatever it is
You know you won't let go
And you made me as I am

Can't you take me as I am?
You will break me as I am
You are the one, and whatever it is
You know you won't let go
And you made me as I am
Won't you take me as I am?
You will break me as I am
You are the one, and whatever it is
I know you won't let go
Won't you take me as I am?
You will break me as I am
