Patrick Fiori Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Cause I can't stand the light
Don't know why I get so down
I won't be much fun tonight
And I can't believe
You still wanna hang around me
It's not so pretty all the time
To you it's all right
As I am
Is how you take me
Never try to push
Or make me different
When I talk you listen to me
As I am
Is how you want me and
I know I've found the piece that's missing
I'm looking at him
I'm not the girl you think you see
But maybe that's a lie
You almost know me better than
Me, myself and I
Don't know a lot of things
But I know what I got
It's not so perfect everyday
I don't have to try
Cause it all falls into place
As I am
Is how you take me
Never try to push
Or make me different
When I talk you listen to me
As I am
Is how you want me and
I know I've found the piece that's missing
I'm looking at him
Face to face, eye to eye
You're standing there
Feels good on the inside
I don't mind, I don't care
You're standing there
Seeing me for the first time
Seeing me for the first time
Seeing me for the first time
[Chorus]
Found the piece that's missin'
take me as I am
When I talk you listen
take me as i am
Found the piece that's missin'
take me as I am

Gonna stay in bed today
I am feeling down and don't want to face the day
Cause I can't stand the light
The light is too harsh on my senses and is overwhelming
Don't know why I get so down
I am struggling with my emotions and can't understand the reason behind my sadness
I won't be much fun tonight
I won't be a great company tonight as I am feeling down
And I can't believe
I am surprised that you still want to be around me despite my negative state
You still wanna hang around me
You still wish to spend time with me despite my current low mood
It's not so pretty all the time
Life is not always beautiful and perfect
You don't mind
You are okay with me when things are not perfect
To you it's all right
You don't have an issue with things not being perfect
As I am
You accept me exactly as I am
Is how you take me
You do not try to change me, but rather embrace me for who I am
Never try to push
You never try to push or force me to change
Or make me different
You accept me for who I am without trying to make me someone else
When I talk you listen to me
You listen to me when I communicate and give me your full attention
I know I've found the piece that's missing
I have found the thing that I was missing in my life, which is you
I'm looking at him
When I look at you, I am looking at the missing piece that I have found
I'm not the girl you think you see
I am not the person that you may have expected or judged based on external appearances
But maybe that's a lie
I may have been portraying myself in a certain way that is not true to who I actually am
You almost know me better than
You may know me better than I know myself
Me, myself and I
I, alone, cannot fully comprehend who I am
Don't know a lot of things
There are things that I don't know, including things about myself
But I know what I got
I know what I have in you and how important you are to me
It's not so perfect everyday
Everyday is not always perfect, and that's okay
I don't have to try
I don't have to work hard to maintain the quality of our relationship
Cause it all falls into place
Things just fall into place naturally
Face to face, eye to eye
We are facing each other directly, making eye contact
You're standing there
You are present with me in this moment
Feels good on the inside
I feel good on the inside because of our relationship
I don't mind, I don't care
I am not concerned about external opinions or judgment
Seeing me for the first time
You are seeing me in a new light, as if for the first time
[Chorus]
Reiteration of the central theme of the song: accepting and loving someone for exactly who they are
Found the piece that's missin'
Having found someone who accepts and loves them for who they are
take me as I am
Accepting and loving someone fully for who they are
When I talk you listen
Validating someone's thoughts and feelings by actively listening and paying attention
