I'M Not Perfect

I've walked through fire, made some wrong turns
Held on too long, refused to learn
Said things in anger I didn't mean
Wounded hearts I wish I'd kept clean

I've broken trust with trembling hands
Tried to fix what I don't understand
I've worn my pride like a shield too tight
But cried alone in the quiet of night

If I failed you, know this much is true
No one's harder on me than I am too

I'm not perfect, no I never was
Just a soul with cracks and a heart that loves
I fall apart, but I still try
To tell the truth, to live, to rise
I can't promise I'll never fall again
But I'll own my faults and make amends
I'm not perfect
But I'm real. And I feel

There were days I shut the world outside
Pretending strength when I just wanted to hide
There were nights I begged for grace
Ashamed to even show my face

I've hurt the ones who needed me near
Pushed away love out of fear
But deep inside, I always cared
I just didn't know how to be repaired

If I lost your trust, if I made you cry
Please know I never meant goodbye

I'm not perfect, I've got flaws and fears
But I've loved with all my shattered years
I've made mistakes, but not from hate
Just from a heart that came too late
I can't promise I'll always get it right
But I'll fight for love, even in the night
I'm not perfect
But I'm here. And I'm trying

I'm learning how to face the shame
Without drowning in the blame
I'm learning to forgive my name
And love myself despite the pain

I'm not perfect, but I still dream
Of healing hearts and starting clean
Of second chances and open skies
Of honest tears and no more lies
If you can see the good in me
Then maybe there's hope for who I can be
I'm not perfect
But I'm still becoming me

I'm not perfect
But I've got love
And I'm enough
