Perfect Mess - Alex G

I find

Perfect was a complimentary

Way to say that I am living free

And shaking

But I’m not

Flawless isn’t what I wanna be

Heaven only knows the realest me

I’m faking

Yeah I’ve been where you’ve been

And I learned a thing or two since then

That it might take

Not being afraid of heartache

Acting a fool with no shame

Loving your everything

And you might break

But you learn to love your mistakes

You’ve gotta know that you saved

You with your perfect mess

And I played

Everyone pretending I was clean

But I could write a book on being mean

To myself

And I climbed

Higher than they ever asked me to

Everything I did I wouldn’t do

With no help

Yeah I’ve been where you’ve been

And I learned a thing or two since then

That it might take

Not being afraid of heartache

Acting a fool with no shame

And loving your everything

And you might break

But you learn to love your mistakes

You’ve gotta know that you saved

You with your perfect mess

And I know you’re terrified

But I’ll be by your side

To remind you why

And you might forget the rules

But we’ll keep loving you

You’re not why you do

It might take

Not being afraid of heartache

Acting a fool with no shame

Loving your everything

It might take

Not being afraid of heartache

Acting a fool with no shame

And loving your everything

Oh and you might break

But you learn to love your mistakes

You’ve gotta know that you saved

You with your perfect mess

Yeah you saved

You with your perfect mess

Yeah you saved

You with your perfect mess
