Let go of all of your supposed crimes

But all your tricks are really clear
I see right through your slick veneer
To the secret life you hide

In the same way that I do?
Through all that's false and all that's true
I like you as you are
BmTake me in
Believe me wAhen I say
You're more than Gjust okay
You're Aperfect as you Gare D
