Alex Blue - Perfect Mess lyrics

I thought perfect was a complimentary way
To say that I am living free, unshaken
But I'm not, flawless isn't what I wanna be
Heaven only knows the realest me, I'm faking

Yeah, I've been where you've been
And I learned a thing or two since then

That it might take not
Being afraid of heartache
Acting a fool with no shame
Loving your everything and you might break
But you'll learn to love your mistakes
You gotta know that you saved
You with your perfect mess

And I played everyone, pretending I was clean
But I could write a book
On being mean to myself
And I climbed higher than they
Ever asked me to
Everything I did I would outdo with no help

Yeah, I've been where you've been
And I learned a thing or two since then

That it might take not
Being afraid of heartache
Acting a fool with no shame
Loving your everything and you might break
But you'll learn to love your mistakes
You gotta know that you're saved
You with your perfect mess

And I know you're terrified
But I'll be by your side to remind you why
You might forget the rules
But we'll keep loving you
You're not what you do

It might take not being afraid of heartache
Acting a fool with no shame
Loving your everything

It might take not being afraid of heartache
Acting a fool with no shame
Loving your everything
Oh and you might break
But you'll learn to love your mistakes
You gotta know that you're saved
You with your perfect mess

Yeah you're saved you with your perfect mess
Yeah you're saved you with your perfect mess
