 I Am

You love me for what
You wish I were
Not for what I am

Not for my beauty
deep within
all you see is
Outside my skin

I keep holding on
I wish, I pray
But today, tomorrow
is just like yesterday

What's left to say?
what's left to do?
My prayers have gone unanswered
my wishes have not come true

The love I thought was true
has broken my heart
keeps me feeling blue

I am who I am, as you are too..
I just can't take another night
of being lonely next to you
