I'm Not Perfect

Tekst utworu

[Verse 1] I left my boots beside the back door Mud still drying from the county road You saw the worry I was hiding And held my hand like you already knew I’ve made mistakes I can’t undo now Said some words that cut too deep But every morning brings a choice, love To plant my feet and keep my promises [Pre-Chorus] I don’t have a clean slate Or answers carved in stone But I’ve got a heart still learning And I won’t walk alone [Chorus] I’m not perfect, I never said I was I only try to be The best man I can be God with me, setting me free When I stumble, when I fall Your grace still reaches me I’m not perfect, I never said I was But I’m becoming who I’m meant to be [Verse 2] There’s a dent across the kitchen table From the night I let my temper win You put two coffees by the window And asked me where my heart had been I told the truth without disguising No more pride to guard the door You said redemption sounds like footsteps Coming back to what they’re for [Pre-Chorus] I don’t need a clean slate To start with what I know With mercy in the morning I can loosen my hold [Chorus] I’m not perfect, I never said I was I only try to be The best man I can be God with me, setting me free When I stumble, when I fall Your grace still reaches me I’m not perfect, I never said I was But I’m becoming who I’m meant to be [Bridge] If the road gets rough, I’ll stay beside you If the old me calls, I’ll let it ring Every scar can tell a different story Every honest step can change a thing [Final Chorus] I’m not perfect, I never said I was I only try to be The best man I can be God with me, setting me free With your hand inside my hand There’s more than I can see I’m not perfect, I never said I was But I’m becoming who I’m meant to be [Outro] One good step, then another That’s the man I’m learning to be God with me, setting me free
