Harrison Wint - Not Perfect Lyrics

Is that the version of me
That lives inside your memories?
More villainous than I could ever be?
Is that how you'll remember me
When your kids ask you about
Your first love?
How I was angry and I didn't treat you right
You used to say my kindness burned so bright

I'm not perfect; I admit it
But you can't tell me I deserve this
When I tried everything to make it bright
You're not perfect if I'm earnest
But you know I overlooked it
So that we could hold each other tight

You're dwelling on the shadows like they weren't cast by light

You're building your ark and trying to flood me out
You're holding on for dear life
You're focused on the pain and trying to shut me out
You used to say my kindness burned so bright

You're dwelling on the shadows like they weren't cast by light

Well I know it's easier to be angry
Than to face the fact that you're alone
But you can't go and take it all out on me
When I'm just trying to remember who I am

I'm not perfect; I admit it
But you can't tell me I deserve this
When I tried everything to make it bright
You're not perfect if I'm earnest
But you know I overlooked it
So that we could hold each other tight
