She's been holding on too long hoping I'm gonna change.
|
Giving it up just a little bit more each time I come home, looking and acting strange.
|
Putting her down for putting up with me.
|
|
Be as you are, as you see, as I am, I am. Be as you are, as you see, as I am, I am.
|
|
Do you think you might improve me, trying to take control?
|
Watching every little thing I do just like a bleeding movie, just like a leading role?
|
Mama, this ain't me and I don't believe that's you.
|
|
Be as you are, as you see, as I am, I am. Be as you are, as you see, as I am, I am.
|
|
First you make believe, I believe the things that you make believe
|
and I'm bound to let you down.
|
Then it's I who have been deceiving, purposely misleading,
|
and all along you believed in me.
|
|
So we circle around one another playing I guessing game, strangers at this masquerade.
|
Pretending to know each other, we strain to catch a name
|
and never see the mistakes we must have made.
|
|
Be as you are, as you see, as I am, I am. Be as you are, as you see, as I am, I am.
