As I Am Lyrics by EJ Michels

Michigan Avenue

2023

[Verse 1]
Suburban child
I made it to my twenties
Had it pretty good
But I never knew how to love me
Father gave me blessings from heaven above
Even all that wishing well wasn’t enough
That black sheep
I made it to my thirties
Finally came to terms
With all my demons almost killed me
All my life I thought I was doing it wrong
My true self was buried in me all along
[Chorus 1]
Do you love me as I am?
Would it be so different if I were someone else?
Will you take me family?
As I am
As I am
Let’s have a conversation
Maybe I’ll understand
Will you take me family?
As I am
Do you love me as I am?
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
As I am
[Verse 2]
All my friends they tell me all their stories
Seems like everybody’s always going on through something
Some are scared of others leaving them alone
While some are feeling like they never did belong
Looking for love
In everything around me
Thought I would feel special when I saw the world adore me
That was just another way to cover up my flaws
Inauthentic validation does comes at a cost
[Chorus 2]
Do you love me as I am?
Would it be so different if I were someone else?
Will you take me family?
As I am
As I am
Let’s have a conversation
Maybe I’ll understand
Will you take me family?
As I am
Do you love me as I am?
Do you love me as I am?
Do you love me as I am?
Do you love me as I am?
As I am
As I am
[Outro]
When everything’s falling down
Crashing all around
Will you take me?
In your safety
As I am now
Different all around
Will you take me?
As the real me
