Lyrics Perfect Mess - Alex G

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
