Come As I Am

Love looked easy from far away Till I held it in my

hands

I used to think it came with a map

Step one, step two,

never look back

But every heart has its own timing

Every truth has its own light

I said the right words,

missed the feeling Tried to be smooth,

lost what was real

Funny how love gets less confusing When I stop trying to be

ideal

It is not as simple as it sounds No clean lines when

your guard comes down But it gets easy when I let you

see me now

Love is not as simple as it sounds We turn around and

round and round Still it can be easy,

easy If I just come as I am

If you just meet me where I stand Maybe it is easy,

easy When we are only being ourselves You saw the mess behind

the posture

The little fears I tried to hide

You did not ask for perfect answers

You only asked me not to lie

So I let go of all the posing The polished lines I

used to wear

And in the quiet of that moment

Something honest filled the air It is not as simple

as it sounds Hearts get crossed when words run out But it

gets easy when I show you who I am

Love is not

as simple as it sounds We turn around and round

and round Still it can be easy,

easy If I just come

as I am If you just meet me where I stand Maybe

it

is easy, easy When we

are only being ourselves No costume,

no disguise Just my heart,

just your eyes That is where the hard part

ends Love is not as simple as it sounds Still it can

be easy now

Being ourselves
