[Verse 1]
I show up with cracks in my hands
A little burned from holding too much
I drop the frame, I spill the plan
Still I reach when you need a touch
I got rough edges, that’s true
Some days I’m hard to hold
But I’m not made of stone
I still got room to grow
[Pre-Chorus]
If you look close
You’ll see the parts I hide
Scars in the seams
And all the things I try
[Chorus]
I’m not perfect
But I’m here
Love me in the mess
Love me clear
I’m not perfect
I still try
To be loved, to be loved
By your side (by your side)
[Verse 2]
I know my words can come out wrong
And my fear gets loud in the dark
But I keep learning all along
How to leave more light in my heart
If I fall, don’t count me out
I’m still standing when I bend
I don’t need flawless now
I just need a hand to send
[Pre-Chorus]
If you look close
You’ll see the parts I hide
Scars in the seams
And all the things I try
[Chorus]
I’m not perfect
But I’m here
Love me in the mess
Love me clear
I’m not perfect
I still try
To be loved, to be loved
By your side (by your side)
[Bridge]
No, I won’t pretend
I’ve got it all together
I’m learning how to stay
And let you see forever
Take my open palms
Take my uneven heart
If love is where we land
Then let it start
[Final Chorus]
I’m not perfect
But I’m here
Love me in the mess
Love me clear
I’m not perfect
I still try
To be loved, to be loved
By your side (by your side)
I’m not perfect
But I’m here
Love me in the mess
Love me clear
I’m not perfect
I still try
To be loved, to be loved
By your side (by your side)
