Lyrics I'm Not Perfect - Lori Martini

I'm Not Perfect

Today I washed my makeup away so the mirror could see my face\nI wanted all my pain to portray what my words could not say\nCause I’ll never be good enough\nThey see my tears and call my bluff\nGotta tough it out and suck it up to stay, to stay\nKeep on runnin to the top, no time to breathe, no time to stop\nBut I…\nGotta shut the world out and breakdown so I can see what’s left of me\nTime for me to be alone, where I feel home and remember what I believe\nI just wanna cry out loud, cuz it’s the only sound that will truly set me\nFree\nI’m standing still to say to you, I’m not perfect\nJust thought you should know\nSo hard I can’t find my way and I’m tired of all this rain\nI’m damaged and so ashamed, only half my soul remains\nCause I’ll never be pretty enough\nThey see my tears and call my bluff\nGotta tough it out and suck it up to stay, to stay\nKeep on runnin to the top, no time to breathe, no time to stop\nBut I…\nGotta shut the world out and breakdown so I can see what’s left of me\nTime for me to be alone, where I feel home and remember what I believe\nI just wanna cry out loud, cuz it’s the only sound that will truly set me\nFree\nI’m standing still to say to you I’m not perfect, perfect\nOoh, I’m so afraid, so afraid\nOf change, change\nAnd ooh, I know it’s the only way\nGotta shut the world out and breakdown so I can see what’s left of me\nTime for me to be alone, where I feel home and remember what I believe\nWhat I believe\nI just wanna cry out loud cuz it’s the only sound that will truly set me\nFree\nIt will set me free\nI’m standing still to say to you I’m not perfect, perfect\nJust thought you should know\nJust thought you should know
