You're a victim of the life you lead
In your heart of hearts you can't concede
That you could be so much more

Can't breathe in this atmosphere
You're afraid, you're gonna disappear into yourself
And become someone else

Come as you are, I'll be here for you
Come as you are, let me adore you
My open arms are waiting for you
All you have to do is come as you are

Doesn't matter how you paint your face
There's a beauty that you can't erase
That mirrors the heart of your soul

Who says angels aren't supposed to cry
Who says that you have to let your life slip by
And never reveal the passion you feel

Come as you are, I'll be here for you
Come as you are, let me adore you
My open arms are waiting for you
All you have to do is come as you are, as you are

You've got to gather up your confidence
And wear it like a halo
Open up your eyes so you can see yourself

I will always be right here for you
Just show me what's real
Try to reveal the passion you feel

Come as you are
Come as you are, I'll be right here waiting for you
All you got to do is come as you are

Come as you are
Come as you are, I will be here for you
All you have to do is come as you are
Come as you are
Just come on, come on here
