"The Way I Am"

You found me the way I am
Now you are trying to change me
You forget the things you liked about me
Deep in my soul you can't see

I leave my heart open to you
But in my heart the last place you look
You wish for me to change to your expectation
I wish you would read me I'm an open book

Don't look at the covers
There you will not find the real me
If you look in my soul the story unfolds
The pages of my life there for you to see

Later maybe there would be changes
But that is all a part of life
For now love me as I am
Which is who I really am
