I’m not perfect

Lyrics

[INTRO] Walking this road, feeling the weight, Every step I take, it’s hard to relate, They say I shine like a diamond bright, But inside I’m lost, searching for light. [VERSE 1] In a world of expectations, I wear this disguise, With a painted smile, while I hide the cries, They see the surface, the mask I project, But underneath it all, there's fear and regret. [CHORUS] No, I’m not perfect, don’t put me on that stage, I’m just an echo of the thoughts in my cage. I’m different from others, can’t you see? I’m not as good as I seem to be. [VERSE 2] Every single day, I’m fighting this fight, With shadows of doubt, creeping in at night. They want my wings, but never understand, That my heart’s not a trophy, it’s fragile like sand. [CHORUS] No, I’m not perfect, don’t put me on that stage, I’m just an echo of the thoughts in my cage. I’m different from others, can’t you see? I’m not as good as I seem to be. [BRIDGE] Maybe one day, I’ll take off the mask, Let you see my flaws, it’s a heavy task. But I promise you this, I’ll still be me, In all my colors, wild and free. [CHORUS] No, I’m not perfect, don’t put me on that stage, I’m just an echo of the thoughts in my cage. I’m different from others, can’t you see? I’m not as good as I seem to be. [HOOK] So hold me close, don’t judge by the shine, We’re all a little broken; it's by design. In this masquerade, we all wear a plea, Let’s find the beauty in our hearts, you and me. [OUTRO] So here’s my truth, take it or leave, I’m learning to live, to love, and believe. No more perfection, just setting me free, I’m not as good as I seem to be.
