The Way I Am Lyrics - Singles - Reality Check

Dimensions of intervention 

Are needless so I think 

Striving and thriving I see 

I'm driving to the brink 

Avoiding annoying eternal 

Complications destinations 

Unimportant constantly 

Distorting my relations 

From patience to thoughts of 

Hating anyone in my mind 

I find it hard to believe you 

Can relate to my kind 

And if I could I would 

Pretend that I'm alright by myself 

If you love me as I am I'll 

Put my pride on the shelf 

If I can I'll pretend I'm 

Alright all by myself 

I'd rather drown than take 

Your hand 

It's the way I am 

Skepticism leaves a wrinkle on my brow 

Cynicism prevents my change 

With this suspicion I'm caught in a dilemma 

Intervention with my psyche? 

Rearrange walls built to hinder 

The intrusion 

Preservation of my mental well being 

Doubt makes me value the 

Safety of my distance 

Can it be stubbornness to 

Which I cling? 

If I can I'll pretend I'm 

Alright all by myself 

I'd rather drown than take 

Your hand 

It's the way I am 

And if I climb a wall of pride 

Swim across my sea of doubt 

Will you love me as I am, the way I am
