I'm sorry i cant be perfect
but it was never worth it
being compared to you
wasn't the best thing to do
its a different tI'me
different day and age
nothings really the same
you should know how it goes
i guess perfection really shows
but that's not me
and one day you will see
my mistakes don't last forever
i hope at least that you'll remember
the reasons i made them
are what make me who i am
I'm a perfectionists mistake
one he would never remake
because even perfectionists aren't perfect
but they learn from everything
to make what everyone sees perfect
