the way that i am

Someone will love me the way that I am The curves of my body and both calloused hands Someone will choose me as more than a friend I won't have to settle or straighten my hair It's completely my fault, I've been searching this long 'Cause I won't get involved unless it'll last long I'm protecting my heart but I'm bearing the cost And each day it gets harder to see Someone will love me the way that I am Speak to me softly and stand where I stand Someone will hold me with all that they can They'll think that I'm funny and then make me laugh It's completely my fault, I've been single this long I make up all my songs if I'm honest for once I've been nobody's crush while my friends find the one I don't know what I want but I know Someone will love me the way that I am The music I make, the songs that I've bled Someone had told me a couple years back That if I'm just patient, I'll find my person I'm not falling behind by waiting for them
