I'm definitely quick
To say that I'm flawed
I'm tragically cynical
I've had all these problems
Before love came to be
And yeah, you have your type, I know
I don't have long black curly hair
I don't wear the shorts you like
I might be everything
You didn't think that you would like
That doesn't change the fact that
I'm not your description of perfect
I can't promise you a goddamn thing
But I know that I'm worth it
I've been told I'm too troubled
It makes me feel like I'm not enough
And I love myself
So why can't anyone else
Without reminding me
Of all of my scars
I don't ever open up anymore
My weaknesses were weaponised
I'm not skilled at emotional combat
And even then, I still try to fight back
And yeah, you have your type, I know
I don't have long black curly hair
I don't wear the shorts you like
I might be everything
You didn't think that you would like
That doesn't change the fact that
I'm not your description of perfect
I can't promise you a goddamn thing
But I know that I'm worth it
But I know that I'm worth it
I will make a good bride someday
I'll look angelic in white
I'll be a good mother
Make sure that my daughters don't cry
The way I did every night
And weep every summer
Till their eyes hurt
'Cuz they're too dry
And I'm so full of love
I'm loyal
I'm patient
I'll have an attitude
But I stay gracious
I stay gracious
I promise that I'm good
I just need to be understood
