No Pretenses Required

Everyday like a performance on a stage
Nobody really knows you
Taken the time to let one person the real you
And you're not sure if you like that
But you think you need it
You're not sure if you like that
But yeah I think you need it

Oh, write me a love letter sometime
Cos I might just be the only one who'll love you for who are
Oh, write me a love letter
Cause no pretenses are required
Write me a love letter
I'll take you as you are
Oh, since I'm the only one that knows the real you

Surround yourself with strangers you call friends
None of them know the full story
Always gonna be that way
Because it would paint you bad
To tell the truth
Tell the truth
Everyone would know all about you
And you don't want that kind of shame

Oh, write me a love letter
I might be the only one who will love you completely despite all of it
Write me sometime
Because I know that no pretenses are required
I know that no pretenses are required
Come as you are and I will love you
For you all that are and all that you're not
Come as you are and I will love you
For you all that are and all that you're not
I'll take you as you are
