As You Are Lyrics by Garfunkel & Oates

Music Songs

2009

[Verse 1]
Sit back, you don’t have to work so hard
It makes me tired to watch you try
Relax, you've already played your cards
And I know which ones are a lie
[Verse 2]
It makes me really sad to see
The things you think you have to be
Just to be enough for me
When you already are
[Chorus]
Why can’t you just look at you
In the same way that I do
Through all that’s false and all that’s true
I like you… as you are
[Verse 3]
I know that you can get sad sometimes
I see it mostly when you smile
Let go of all of your supposed crimes
Just be with me for a while
[Verse 4]
I know this may be hard to hear
But all your tricks are really clear
I see right through your slick veneer
To the secret life you hide
[Chorus]
Why can’t you just look at you
In the same way that I do
Through all that’s false and all that’s true
I like you… as you are
[Outro]
Take me in
Believe me when I say
You’re more than just okay
You’re perfect… as you are
