Imperfection

My hair's a wreck

Mascara runs

My feet get dirty

And my skin burns in the sun.

My lips they bleed

But I still sing my songs.

Takes me a minute

To admit it when I'm wrong.

Pretty is as pretty does,

But pretty's not my thing.

This is what you get.

This is who I am.

Take me now or leave me

Any way you can.

Sometimes I trip and fall

But I know where I stand.

And if you're thinking about changing my direction,

Don't mess with imperfection.

My back is weak,

But my will is true.

Got good intentions

But I never follow through.

I say too much,

And don't know when to leave.

In case you're looking,

That's my heart there on my sleeve.

Ego trips and stupid slip ups,

I'm a mess but

This is what you get.

This is who I am.

Take me now or leave me

Any way you can.

Sometimes I trip and fall

But I know where I stand.

And if you're thinking about changing my direction,

Don't mess with imperfection.

Scratched and bruised,

A little used,

But baby I work fine.

You might call me

Damaged goods,

But I'm one of a kind.

My hair's a wreck,

No I'm not perfect

But I'm not the only one.

This is what you get.

This is who I am.

Take me now or leave me

Any way you can.

Sometimes I trip and fall

But I know where I stand.

And if you're thinking about changing my direction,

Don't mess with imperfection.

This is who I am.

And if you're thinking about changing my direction,

Don't mess with imperfection.
