Not Perfect
Im sorry Im not perfet
I can only be me
Im sorry im not perfect
like the girl you want me to be
I'd do anything to make you happy
even if it makes me sad
I'd never do anything to hurt you
I dont try and make you mad
A lot of times you get angry
and we start to fight
little do you know
i cry myself to sleep at night
I dont know
just what i do wrong
i dont understand
why we cant get along
everytime we fight
i wish you could feel my heart brake
sometimes i wonder
just how much more of this i can take
sometimes i get so angry
i dont know what to say
i feel almost like a game
that everyone wants to play
the only thing i need in this world
is someone to be true
the only thing i need i this world
is....to be loved by you
