[Verse 1] All my life I changed my face Tried to fit in every place Said the words I thought they’d need Turned my heart into a scene Played the role, became the mask Gave them more each time they asked Lost myself in all that art Trying to be enough for hearts [Pre-Chorus] But love should not erase my name Should not ask me to be changed If I have to hide to stay Then it was never love anyway [Chorus] I will stop pretending I will stop the act Real love sees the whole me And it won’t turn back All my flaws, all my shadows Every crack I have If you love me, love me Love me as I am [Drop / Post-Chorus] As I am As I am Don’t want love For a borrowed man As I am As I am If it’s real It will understand [Verse 2] I got tired of chasing light Only shining from outside What survives when silence comes Is the truth of who we are No more shaping every move Just to be somebody’s proof I would rather stand alone Than be loved for what I’m not [Pre-Chorus] Love should not erase my name Should not ask me to be changed If I have to hide to stay Then it was never love anyway [Chorus] I will stop pretending I will stop the act Real love sees the whole me And it won’t turn back All my flaws, all my shadows Every crack I have If you love me, love me Love me as I am [Bridge] Let destiny decide it Who will stay, who will run Who can hold the broken pieces And still call me home I won’t bend forever Just to be adored I’d rather be honest Than be loved for a form [Final Chorus] I will stop pretending I will let it end Real love doesn’t need me To be born again All my flaws, all my shadows Let them all be seen If you love me, love me Without changing me [Outro] As I am As I am Let it live Or let it end As I am As I am What is real Will remain
