this song was featured in one tree hill (if you've ever seen the show you'll get this) and he plays the character chris keller, who has a rep for being a player/jerk... but he loves the girl haley, and he wants her to see him for who he is hence, "i am what you see, i am not what they say. but if i turned out to be, could you love me anyways?" i think tyler wrote this almost a bit self conscious of himself even, just saying that he'd made a rep for himself and just wanted to be seen as him... not viewed as a player, or a jerk, or anything other than tyler.

while you're OTH referencing.. i think this fits nathan &+ haley's relationship more than chris keller (tyler) &+ haley's relationship.
