[Verse 1]
My head is chaos! — Thoughts running wild!
Sometimes I hide what’s on my mind.
Sometimes I lean back — close my eyes,
drift away into my fantasy tonight.
When does the chemistry feel right?
When does friendship
finally come to life?!
[Pre-Chorus]
I don’t know what the others think!
What can I say? — I can’t control what’s in their heads!
I give you everything that I can —
but when … when is it MY turn then?!
[Chorus]
I’m not perfect!
— I won’t pretend!
I’m not perfect!
Sometimes complicated — but I care!
If you don’t understand —
then why are you still there?!
I’m not perfect!
But when you need me — I’ll be right there!
[Electro Break]
Oh-oh! — Not perfect!
Oh-oh! — But I’m real!
Hey! Hey!
Not perfect!
[Verse 2]
I can’t know what the others feel,
if I always have to ask what’s real.
My status? — Not perfect!
But I still deserve respect.
Where do I stand? — Where do I belong?
Just tell me honestly where I belong.
I don’t ask for much —
honesty would be enough!
But who helps me when I’m stuck?!
Nobody?!
Is that really fair?!
[Pre-Chorus]
I don’t know what the others think!
What can I say? — I can’t control what’s in their heads!
I give you everything that I can —
but when … when is it MY turn then?!
[Chorus]
I’m not perfect!
— I won’t pretend!
I’m not perfect!
Sometimes complicated — but I care!
If you don’t understand —
then why are you still there?!
I’m not perfect!
But when you need me — I’ll be right there!
[Bridge]
Friendship should mean something!
Ranking people? — That means nothing!
I’m not a stone!
Not replaceable!
It’d be much better:
“Come on in!
Let’s grab a beer at the bar!”
[Electro Guitar Solo]
[Final Chorus]
I’M NOT PERFECT!
— I won’t pretend!
I’M NOT PERFECT!
Sometimes complicated — but I care!
If you don’t understand —
then why are you still there?!
I’m not perfect!
But when you need me — I’LL BE RIGHT THERE!
[Outro – slowly fading out]
I’m not perfect …
I won’t pretend …
Not perfect …
but I care …
When you need me …
I’ll be right there …
Oh-oh … not perfect …
Oh-oh … but I’m real …
I’m still here …
