Take Me As I Am
(Chorus)
Take me as I am
My hands are glass
My heart is heavy
My bones are bronze
They will not break
Under the weight of your love
Take me as I am
I'm badly flawed
But I'm madly yours
So take me

(Verse 1)
Welcome to the world of lonely souls
Called the rolling Stones
Never seem to gather moss
I've been on my own so long, it's old
Long for someone to hold onto
Then I found you

(Pre-Chorus)
Please be careful, I can't hide the bruisеs
But you and I know what the truth is
We've been bondеd since the start of the universe
So for what it's worth
(Chorus)
Take me as I am
My hands are glass
My heart is heavy
My bones are bronze
They will not break
Under the weight of your love
Take me as I am
I'm badly flawed
But I'm madly yours
So take me

(Verse 2)
Dancing in the dark
The candle finds solace
Can I find something solid?
Something in the cards says this time will be different
That hope makes this kind of worth living for

(Pre-Chorus)
Please be gentle I'm fragile as you are
I'm tempered iron
But you recall that
We've both fallen before and we fell hard
Excuse my ugly scars
(Chorus)
Take me as I am
My hands are glass
My heart is heavy
My bones are bronze
They will not break
Under the weight of your love
Take me as I am
I'm badly flawed
But I'm madly yours
So take me

(Bridge)
And if you know you'll leave me
Let me down easy
Let me down easy
I know nightmares
Can I know dreaming?
Can I know dreaming?

(Chorus)
Take me as I am
My hands are glass
My heart is heavy
My bones are bronze
They will not break
Under the weight of your love
Take me as I am
I'm badly flawed
But I'm madly yours
So take me
