The Way That I Am Lyrics
Lyrics from snippet:
Someone will love me the way that I am
The curves of my body and both callused hands
Someone will choose me as more than a friend
I won’t have to settle or straighten my hair
It’s completely my fault I’ve been searching this long
Cause I won’t get involved unless it’ll last long
I’m protecting my heart but I’m bearing the cost
And each day it gets harder to see
Someone will love me the way that I am
And speak to me softly and stand where I stand
Someone will hold me with all that they can
And think that I’m funny and then make me laugh
It’s completely my fault I’ve been single this long
I make up all my songs if I’m honest for once
I’ve been nobody’s crush while my friends find the one
I don’t know what I want but I know
Someone will love me the way that I am
The music I make the songs that I’ve bled
Someone had told me a couple years back
That if I’m just patient I’ll find my person
I’m not falling behind by waiting for them
