Take Me As I Am (or Let Me Go)

Why must you always try to make me over take me as I am or 
let me go
White lilies never grow on stalks of clover take me as I am
 or let me go
You're trying to reshape me like your old love
In the image of the one you used to know
But I won't be a standing for an old love take me as I am 
or let me go
[ steel ]
You're trying to reshape me...
