[Verse 1 – Male] I missed the signs I changed my mind I left some dreams Too far behind I said too much I stayed too long I called it right And got it wrong I trusted hearts That couldn't stay I closed some doors Then wished I'd stayed But every scar Every surprise Reminds me I was alive [Pre-Chorus] I don't need To understand Every mark Upon my hands [Chorus] I don't want A perfect life I want one That feels alive Give me the nights I couldn't sleep The promises I couldn't keep Give me the love That changed my name The tears The joy The beautiful mistakes If every breath Leaves something behind Let me be Imperfectly alive [Verse 2] I've taken roads That disappeared I've held on tight Because of fear I've watched the years Rewrite my plans And learned that life Won't understand The person I was meant to be Was never waiting Somewhere for me He's every choice I couldn't hide Still becoming Still alive [Pre-Chorus] Maybe nothing Needs repair Maybe being here Is enough to care [Chorus] I don't want A perfect life I want one That feels alive Give me the nights I couldn't sleep The promises I couldn't keep Give me the love That changed my name The tears The joy The beautiful mistakes If every breath Leaves something behind Let me be Imperfectly alive [Instrumental] [Bridge] I used to think I'd find the answer Somewhere further Down the line Now I think The only answer Was the living All this time So let tomorrow Find me changing Let me stumble Let me try I don't need To get it perfect I just need To feel alive [Final Chorus] I don't want A perfect life I want one That feels alive Give me the roads I haven't seen The space between Who I've been And who I'll be When morning comes Give me the silence And the drums Every heartbeat Out of time Every reason Every why I was here And while I'm here Let me be Imperfectly alive [Outro] Still becoming Still alive Imperfectly alive
