[Verse 1]
This is no escape
This is no surrender
My dear
This is my parade
My happy ever after
But only if you're here
When I'm lost and broken

[Chorus]
Take me as I am
Right here where I stand
Open up your arms and let me in
Out here on my own
I know I'm not alone
Let me in your heart
Right where you stand
Take me as I am

[Verse 2]
We can take tonight
And make it last forever
If you dare
Ooh, we can run away
Take the world together
Only if you care
With these words unspoken

[Chorus]
Take me as I am
Right here where I stand
Open up your arms and let me in
Out here on my own
I know I'm not alone
Let me in your heart
Right where you stand
Take me as I am

[Bridge]
Give a second chance
We can take tomorrow
Make it better, you and me
Give me one more try
Before we say goodbye
Right here in this moment, here forever
Everyday

[Chorus]
Take me as I am
Right here where I stand
Open up your arms
Take me as I am
Right here where I stand
Open up your arms and let me in
Out here on my own
I know I'm not alone
Let me in your heart
Right where you stand
Take me as I am
Take me as I am
Take me as I am
Take me as I am
Take me as I am
