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.
