Like I Am

I don't understand, what've I done to you?
To make you feel the way about me that you do.
I thought you liked me too, but you said I was wrong,
But I know deep down inside, you've liked me all along.

I know the truth, I've been thinking for so long now,
The truth you hide, our love you won't allow.
Because of your friends who would never go away,
We're now nothing, but we could be big someday.

If your friends don't like it, that's too bad for them,
I like you for you; you're my precious gem.
So if you want me to change to impress your friends...
That's too bad, take me like I am, or this is the end.

You know AJ, despite how much you've made me cry,
I can't let go of you although I'm not sure why.
I guess it's because how much better I felt when you cared,
My broken heart you just magically repaired.

But this seems to be it so goodbye, I love you,
I hate to say it but I guess that we are through.
If you can't like me like I am when your friends are near...
Maybe when I am gone the truth will be clear.
