You want me to change but I think I'm okay
You used to say that you liked me this way
I'm trying to do the best that I can
I love you just the way that I am
I love you just the way that I am
Time's slowing down a little each day
There's work to be done and dues to be paid
Life can be hard on the installment plan
I love you just the way that I am
I love you just the way that I am
VW van left in the weeds
A forgotten part of our history
Things didn't turn out the way that we planned
I love you just the way that I am
I love you just the way that I am
Now we've come to the bridge
Don't want to jump off
The water's too deep
And the current's too strong
Now we're out on the edge
High on the wall
If you push me now I'm ready to fall
Down on my luck on the outside
Too soon to run too late to hide
I try to get back to where we began
I love you just the way that I am
I love you just the way that I am
Cooler heads don't always prevail
Sometimes it seems like I'm destined to fail
I try to hold on the best that I can
I love you just the way that I am
I love you just the way that I am
