Love You For Who You Are

Intro

Yeah... look.

No filters, no expectations.

I'm tired of the images, tired of the presentation.

I just want the real you.

Listen.

Verse 1

See you putting on a mask before you walk out the door

Trying to be someone that the world will adore

I love you in the morning when your hair's in a mess

Before you put the makeup on and slip in the dress

We live in a world where everything is highly designed

I'm trying to appreciate the truth in your mind

You don't gotta be perfect, you don't gotta be flawless

Love you when you're broken and your spirit is lawless

We both carry baggage from the places we've been

Scared to let another person look underneath the skin

But I'm dropping my guard, I'm throwing the shield

I just want to see the side of you that is real

So breathe out the stress, let the armor just fall

Trying to love the person that is behind the wall.

Pre-Chorus

Strip away the hype, strip away the display

I don't care about what the people gotta say

Take a look in my eyes, see the vision is clear

The truest version of you is the one I hold dear.

Chorus

I'm trying to love you for exactly who you are

Not the shadow of a dream or a Hollywood star

With your flaws and your doubts and the scars in your past

I want a love that's authentic, a love that'll last

I'm loving the real you, the good and the bad

The happiest moments and the times you get sad

No conditions attached, I'm holding you tight

Loving who you are from the dawn to the night.

Verse 2

It's a process of learning, it's a daily routine

To look past the surface and the things on a screen

You got a brilliant mind, you doubt your own worth

Comparing your life to every person on Earth

But you're a masterpiece to me, a work of pure art

I'm locked on your soul, ain't just playing a part

We can skip the facades, we can throw out the script

Love the way your laughter makes the universe shift

So stop trying to fit inside a box that they made

Real gold doesn't tarnish, real colors don't fade

I accept every piece, every angle and view

Because the prettiest thing about you is just you.

Bridge

You don't have to change for me.

Just be yourself, that's the ultimate key.

Let the world keep talking, let 'em chase the facade...

I'm loving the soul that was fashioned by God.

Yeah, accept it all. Every single part.

Chorus

I'm trying to love you for exactly who you are

Not the shadow of a dream or a Hollywood star

With your flaws and your doubts and the scars in your past

I want a love that's authentic, a love that'll last

I'm loving the real you, the good and the bad

The happiest moments and the times you get sad

No conditions attached, I'm holding you tight

Loving who you are from the dawn to the night.

Outro

Yeah. Exactly who you are.

No edits. No filters.

Just you.

That's all I ever wanted.
