Forget the times he walked by, Forget the times he made you cry, <br /> Forget the times he spoke your name, Remember now your not the same. <br /> Forget the times he held your hand, Forget the sweet things if you can,<br /> Forget the times &amp; Don&#039;t pretend, Remember now he&#039;s just your friend.

I'm not perfect
I have long hair that never does what I want it to
All I hope is that it looks good to you
I'm not perfect
I have lots of muscle people put off as fat
All I hope is you look over that
I'm not perfect
I have so many scars covering my skin
All I hope is you don’t care I forgot the stories that led to them
I'm not perfect
I always make mistakes
All I hope is that you notice I fix them before it's to late
I'm not perfect
When I'm in a mood, sometimes I'll snap
All I hope is you don't care about that
I'm not perfect
I guess I really don't have that many stories to tell
All I hope is you wanted to catch me when I fell
