"As I Am" lyrics

"As I Am"
(feat. Khalid)

[Justin Bieber:]
By myself sometimes, to give my mind some space
Yeah, I know, yeah, I know that it hurts when I push your love away, I hate myself
I wanna tell you lies so your heart won't break
Yeah, I know, yeah, I know that I made my fair share of mistakes

Sometimes I don't know why you love me
Sometimes I don't know why you care
Take me with the good and the ugly
Say, "I'm not goin' anywhere"

Take me as I am, swear I'll do the best I can
Say, "I'm not goin' anywhere"
Take me as I am, swear I'll do the best I can
Say, "I'm not goin' anywhere"

[Khalid:]
A thousand miles apart, yeah, you're the one that holds my heart
It's no surprise, and I tell you all the time
And when life gets way too hard, I'll meet you in the stars, you know I will
I'll keep you near (Mmm), as I wipe away your tears (Mmm), yes

[Justin Bieber & Khalid:]
Sometimes I don't know why you love me
Sometimes I don't know why you care
Take me with the good and the ugly
Say, "I'm not goin' anywhere"

[Justin Bieber & Khalid (Justin Bieber) {Khalid}:]
Take me as I am, swear I'll do the best I can
(Say, "I'm not goin' anywhere") {Yeah}
(Take me as I am, swear I'll do the best I can)
Say, "I'm not goin' anywhere"

[Justin Bieber (Khalid):]
You were there for me when I was actin' selfish
And you prayed for me when I was out of faith
You believed in me when ain't nobody else did
It's a miracle you didn't run away (Yeah)
(You were there for me when I was actin' selfish)
And you (prayed for me when I was out of faith)
You (believed in me when ain't nobody else did)
(It's a miracle you didn't run away)

[Justin Bieber (Khalid) {Both}:]
Sometimes I don't know why you love me
(Sometimes I don't know why you care)
Take me with the good and the ugly
{Say, "I'm not goin' anywhere"}

"I love this song because it has a really hopeful message," Justin Bieber told Vogue about "As I Am". "A lot of us, including me at times, have felt unworthy of love and so [the hook] is saying, 'Take me as I am and I'll do the best that I can.' It's that commitment that I personally made to my wife. I'm here through thick and thin—this is me, take it or leave it."
"As I Am" is the first song on which Justin Bieber and Khalid collaborated.
