As I Am

I used to think I was the problem
That I wasn't made for love
Got my hopes up way too often
To be told I was too much
Too much to love, too much to be with
How did I think I was the problem?

It was so easy
To hurt me

But it's not what it was
I have grown, grown up
And I'm in love, with a man
Who loves me back
As I am, as I am
As I am, as I am

All those times I would cry in the bathroom
Hide away so nobody would see
I couldn't look at that girl in the mirror
'Cause she wouldn't even look at me
She thinks I, thinks I'm too much
Too much to deal with
Maybe I was never the problem

They just weren't enough
It's so easy, to love me

But it's not what it was
I have grown, grown up
And I'm in love, with a man
Who loves me back
As I am, as I am
As I am, as I am

Wish I could talk to the girl at the party
In the corner, in the ripped-up jeans
Settle down, be careful with your heart please
Some day I promise you'll see

That it's not what it was
You will grow, grow up
'Cause I'm in love, with a man
Who loves me back
As I am
As I am
As I am
As I am
