"Just As I Am" lyrics

What it takes to be a man
Do I fit your image yet?
Is this really who I am?
Am I someone you'll forget?

I should've died while I was young
It's a shame
That my name
Carries weight here
Bad blood between us dried out
I'll play safe
To save face
Just as I am

Jesus Christ won't understand
Feel the scars inside my hands
I once was lost now I'm found
Sinners, saints are all the same

I should've died while I was young
It's a shame
That my name
Carries weight here
Bad blood between us dried out
I'll play safe
To save face
Just as I am

I'd die a thousand times
Over to feel alive
I lost faith in you before I was ready
I blame the father, son
The church and holy ghost
But mainly myself for all the way I turned out
