I TAKE YOU AS YOU ARE.

Wish that was the case...
Who was I?
What was I not?

(until the end)

Substitute; a stand-in...
Will you come clean?
Can you tolerate the truth?

(no option, but to defend)

Certainly; it didn't start of mal...
Did you find it?
Get what you need?

(you broke me well; at this point, assumed trend)

TOOK YOU THIS FAR.
