As I Am Lyrics
[Verse 1: 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
[Pre-Chorus: Justin Bieber]
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"
[Chorus: Justin Bieber]
Take me as I am, swear I'll do the best I can
Say, "I'm not goin' anywhere"
Take mе as I am, swear I'll do the best I can
Say, "I'm not goin' anywhеre"
[Verse 2: 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
[Pre-Chorus: 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"
[Chorus: Justin Bieber, Khalid, both]
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"
[Bridge: Justin Bieber, Khalid, both]
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
[Outro: 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"
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 mе as I am, swear I'll do the best I can
Say, "I'm not goin' anywhеre"

I think Justin is trying to convey that he has made a good amount of mistakes in his past, and he tells lies because the truth would hurt very badly. This can be in a relationship with a lover or a family member. You want those that you love and want to be around to stick around even after all your mistakes and mishaps that have happened in the past.
