The Way I Am Lyrics

Dimensions of intervention are needless so I think
Striving and thriving I see I'm driving to the brink
Avoiding annoying eternal complications destinations
Inimportant 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
