All That I Am

You don't know what I'm about You're full of doubt Questions just hang in the air You don't where this will lead Whether you'll bleed When we reach a fork in the road And all I can say Is it won't be the first time I put my heart on the line And it won't be the last if I can't seem to shake off the past Take me for all that I am Take me for all that I'm hoping to be Tell me you won't give a damn About all my faults I've had my ups and my downs My share of clowns My past seems to follow me here Like a house guest who won't ever leave He sticks to my sleeve And reminds me of all my mistakes And all I can say There's bound to be good times, bound to be bad times But I won't be gone when the darkness is turning to dawn Take me for all that I am Take me for all that I'm hoping to be Tell me you won't give a damn About all my faults All my faults I have seen love come and go Like a strong undertow It pulls you down into the sea A poker hand already played My cards have been laid but I can't stand to lose anymore And all I can say Is I'm turning my life around, feet planted on the ground But I need you to say you'll be with me each step of the way Take me for all that I am Take me for all that I'm hoping to be And tell me you won't give a damn About all my faults Take me for all that I am Take me for all that I'm trying to be Then I'll give you all that I can If you'll stay with me Stay with me Stay with me
