As You Are Lyrics

[Kate]
Sit back, you don't have to work so hard
It makes me tired to watch you try
Relax, you already played your cards
And I know which ones are a lie

[Riki]
It makes me really sad to see
The things you think you have to be
Just to be enough for me
When you already are

[Both]
Why can't you just look at you
In the same way that I do?
Through all that's false and all that's true
I like you, as you are

[Kate]
I know that you can get sad sometimes
I see it mostly when you smile
Let go of all of your supposed crimes
Just be with me for a while

[Riki]
I know this may be hard to hear
But all your tricks are really clear
I see right through your slick veneer
To the secret life you hide

[Both]
Why can't you just look at you
In the same way that I do?
Through all that's false and all that's true
I like you as you are

Take me in
Believe me when I say
You're more than just okay
You're perfect as you are

I have to admit I am probably amon the (many) people who first found Kaye Miccuci on Scrubs. I got a few of her songs then found G and O and I have to say I love this song. It is easy to look over their "slower" songs but this is so beautiful.
