Not Perfect

V5

Verse 1 I’ve said things I wish I could take back, Hurt people who didn’t deserve that. I’ve ghosted friends when I got low, And blamed the world when I lost control. I’ve tried to be strong, tried to play cool, But half the time I’m just playing the fool. People see calm — they don’t see the spin, The storm that’s quiet beneath my skin. Chorus I’m not perfect, never been close, Just trying to do better than most. I screw up, I fall apart, But I still lead with my heart. Yeah, I’m not perfect — and that’s okay, I’m still learning along the way. Verse 2 I’ve run from love ‘cause it felt too real, Pushed away hands that tried to heal. I say I’m fine when I’m breaking inside, Smile just to keep my pain disguised. I’ve told lies just to make things smooth, Lost myself trying to tell my truth. But every scar, every wrong I’ve done, Made me stronger than where I came from. Chorus I’m not perfect, never been close, Just trying to do better than most. I screw up, I fall apart, But I still lead with my heart. Yeah, I’m not perfect — and that’s okay, I’m still learning along the way. Bridge (real + quiet) I don’t need to fake my peace, I just need a little release. If I fall again, I’ll rise slow, I’m still here — that’s all I need to know. Final Chorus I’m not perfect, never will be, But I’m done hiding that part of me. If I break down, I’ll build again, Flaws and all, that’s how I win. Yeah, I’m not perfect — and that’s okay, I’m still breathing — that’s enough today.
