Love Me For Me

Phone rings Don't wanna pick it up I'm so scared I'm gonna say too much I tip toe around your questions Why you gotta dig so deep? Tears fall And the glasses break Inside these walls The floor boards shake But from outside It's alright Long as you're looking from fifty feet I've been trying trying To hold my head up high I've been lying lying Keeping it all inside Trying not to trust you, yeah Take another leaf, I'm a book, yeah yeah I'm done, I give up I don't wanna pretend no more That's it, so what? I've lost a friend before Gonna say it like it is No more wondering "What if?" That ain't the way you ought to live Cause I don't want you to love me If you don't wanna love me for me Cause I don't want you to love me If you don't wanna love me for me A doll house is all that you could see But it's so far from my reality I got problems, I got issues Sometimes it's all too much for me Wrap it up with a pretty little bow But there are some things you can't sugarcoat So I give it to you anyway Even though it won't taste so sweet I've been trying trying To hold my head up high I've been lying lying Keeping it all inside Maybe I could trust you, yeah Take another leaf, I'm a book, yeah yeah I'm done, I give up I don't wanna pretend no more That's it, so what? (so what?) I've lost a friend before Gonna say it like it is (I'm gonna say it like it is) No more wondering "What if?" That ain't the way you ought to live Cause I don't want you to love me If you don't wanna love me for me Sick of all the fighting All the slamming of the doors The pain, the pain, runs too deep to ignore Step back, step back Can you see it through my eyes? I know, I know It may be a surprise Don't wanna be perceived as something that I'm not Just wanna be accepted for the little that I got Because even now in my glass house I'm ready to let you in Oh, yeah I'm ready to let you in I'm done, I give up I don't wanna pretend no more That's it, so what? I've lost a friend before Gonna say it like it is No more wondering "What if?" That ain't the way you ought to live Cause I don't want you to love me If you don't wanna love me for me Cause I don't want you to love me (don't want you to love me) If you don't wanna love me for me Cause I don't want you to love me If you don't wanna love me for me
