The Material Love Me or Leave Me lyrics

When we first met, I would do anything to be with you
I lost myself, I'm not the same.
I changed the things you asked me to,
Became somebody else for you.
So love me now or leave me this way
Leave me this way

The seasons came and went again
And every day I played pretend.
I thought that we... would be okay
But February brought the rain
and washed the lies off of my face,
So love me now or leave me this way.

Chorus:
'Cause I can't be all that you want
No I can't be all that you need.
I won't go on playing along
Won't you set me free
And well love me for me?
Could you love me for me?

So why do we fall apart
And hide the pieces in the dark?
I finally learned from my mistakes.
I shed the mask that I was in.
This is me in my own skin.
So love me now or leave me this way


Chorus:
'Cause I can't be all that you want
No I can't be all that you need.
I won't go on playing along
Won't you set me free

I wanted to believe in us
But I can never be enough
To live up to the girl of your dream.
I finally woke up today
And relized that I'm okay with who I am
So love me for me!
Could you love me for me?

Love me or leave me this way.
Leave me this way!
Leave me this way!!

'Cause you can't be all that I want
No you can't be all that I need.
I won't go on playing along
Won't you set me free
So I can be me? Yeah!
No I won't go on playing along
Won't you set me free...
