Songs: Reality

I never said that I was perfect,
I never told you I could be all you want me to be,
I never said that I was strong and able,
And I never told you I could change everything...

I made no promises, I never took that chance..
I can't open up, I can't give this another try..

This is me, all I am, standing here..
Right in front of you
And maybe I didn't meet all of your expectations


But, this is me all I am, just standing here..
Asking you..
Take me for who I am, unperfect little me.

I never promised I would change,
I never hinted that I wanted to be someone new
I never promised that I'd make you proud,
I never hinted that I wouldn't stumble again..

I made no promises, I never took that chance,
I can't open up, I can't give this another try...

This is me, all I am, standing here..
Right in front of you
And maybe I didn't meet all of your expectations
But, this is me all I am, just standing here..
Asking you..
Take me for who I am, unperfect little me.

Look me in the eye, and tell me you're proud..
Look me in the eye, and tell me you still love me..
Look me in the eye and tell me,
Though I'm not all you want me to be, You still care...
You still care about imperfect little me..

This is me, all I am, standing here..
Right in front of you
And maybe I didn't meet all of your expectations
But, this is me all I am, just standing here..
Asking you..
Take me for who I am, unperfect little me.

This is me, all I am, standing here..
Right in front of you
And maybe I didn't meet all of your expectations
But, this is me all I am, just standing here..
Asking you..
Take me for who I am, unperfect little me.

    by Adam Smith

    I live within my room,
    it's like I live within myself.
    I've got a thousand books
    a ton of music on my shelf.

    I'm afraid to go

    I Cannot Be Tied Down

    When I'm hung up on the nails you scratch my back with
    You'd be nice to spend some time with
    But I cannot

    by Barbara Writes

    When home is not a home

    Home is not a home
    But a shelter from the winds
    That Mother Nature unleashes
    Upon a troubled heart

    When

    (Chorus)
    On a better day you'd be fine
    On some fantasy deep in your mind,
    Lifting your arms in praise as you fly.
    Up, Up towards
