I wake up to nosebleeds Red blood on the white bedsheets Ears ringing from screaming In my dreams Sleepwalking, sleeprunning Why can't you love me as I am? Do you have to change everything you can? Hands around my throat so tight Smiling at my weakness Inside I wanted to die Scared to speak the truth Fear is all I know You like when I'm silent It fuels your ego I don't want to dye my hair for you It's my mother's hair too Stop telling me I'm all you want When you try to change me at every stop Why can't you love me as I am? Oh Why can't you love me as I am? Please don't change me Just because you can Just because you can Love me as I am Love me as I am Leave me as I am
