[Verse 1]
I saw you like a frame,
clean edges, perfect name
You walked in with that calm,
and I locked on your flame
I built you up too high,
put halos on your flaws
Then life pulled back the cloth,
and I saw the real laws
You spilled the truth on me,
and I did not step back
You showed me every crack,
I still wanted all that
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause the soft parts,
they don't scare me off
No, the rough parts,
make the whole thing talk
I don't need gold,
I need your pulse and your proof
When the mask comes down,
I still run to you
[Chorus]
I saw that you were perfect
(so I loved you)
Then I saw you were not perfect
(and I loved you more)
I loved you more
I loved you more
Not in spite of it
I loved you more
[Verse 2]
Your bad day at the door,
your shake in your voice
The way you cursed the rain,
like you had no choice
Your hand on my sleeve,
your eyes full of doubt
You thought you lost the spark,
but I was leaning in hard
I liked the way you bent,
I liked the way you bled
A broken kind of brave,
that kept you moving ahead
I don't want polished glass,
I want the living thing
The midnight honesty,
the mess that you bring
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause the soft parts,
they don't scare me off
No, the rough parts,
make the whole thing talk
I don't need gold,
I need your pulse and your proof
When the mask comes down,
I still run to you
[Chorus]
I saw that you were perfect
(so I loved you)
Then I saw you were not perfect
(and I loved you more)
I loved you more
I loved you more
Not in spite of it
I loved you more
[Bridge]
You ain't a statue, no
You breathe, you break, you glow
I found my favorite truth
in everything you show
So if you shake again,
I'll be right in the storm
'Cause love got deeper there
than it ever was before
[Final Chorus]
I saw that you were perfect
(so I loved you)
Then I saw you were not perfect
(and I loved you more)
I loved you more
I loved you more
Every flaw, every scar
I loved you more
I saw that you were perfect
(so I loved you)
Then I saw you were not perfect
(and I loved you more)
