take me as i am

this is no escape, this is no surrender, my dear, this is my parade, my happy ever after, only if you're here, when i'm lost and broken, take me as i am, right here where i stand, open up your arms and let me in, out here on my own, i know i'm not alone, let me in your heart, right where you stand, take me as i am, we can take tonight, and make it last forever, if you dare, ooh, we can run away, take the world together, only if you care, with these words unspoken, take me as i am, right here where i stand, open up your arms and let me in, out here on my own, i know i'm not alone, let me in your heart, right where you stand, take me as i am, give a second chance, we can take tomorrow, make it better, you and me, give me one more try, before we say goodbye, right here in this moment, here forever, everyday, take me as i am, right here where i stand, open up your arms, take me as i am, right here where i stand, open up your arms and let me in, out here on my own, i know i'm not alone, let me in your heart, right where you stand, take me as i am, take me as i am, take me as i am, take me as i am, take me as i am
