I've walked through fire,
made some wrong turns,
held on too long,
refused to learn.
Said things in anger
I didn't mean.
Wounded hearts
I wish I kept clean.
I have broken trust
with trembling hands,
tried to fix
what I don't understand.
I have worn my pride
like a shield too tight,
but cried alone
in the quiet of night.
If I failed you,
know this much is true.
No one's harder on me than I am, too.
I'm not perfect.
No, I never was.
Just a soul with cracks
and a heart that loves.
I fall apart,
but I still try
to tell the truth,
to live, to rise.
I can't promise I'll never fall again.
But I will own my faults
and make amends.
I'm not perfect,
but I'm real
and I feel.
There were days I shut the world outside,
pretending strength
when I just wanted to hide.
There were nights
I begged for grace,
ashamed to even show my face.
I've hurt the ones
who needed me near.
Pushed away love
out of fear.
But deep inside
I always cared.
I just didn't know how to be repaired.
If I lost your trust,
if I made you cry,
please know I never meant goodbye.
I'm not perfect.
I've got flaws and fears,
but I've loved
with all my shattered years.
I've made mistakes,
but not from hate.
Just from a heart
that came too late.
I can't promise I'll always
get it right,
but I'll fight for love.
Even in the night,
I'm not perfect,
but I'm here
and I'm trying.
I'm learning how to face the shame
without drowning in the blame.
I'm learning to forgive my name
and love myself despite the pain.
I'm not perfect,
but I still dream
of healing hearts
and starting clean,
of second chances
and open skies,
of honest tears
and no more lies.
If you can see
the good in me,
then maybe there's hope
for who I can be.
I'm not perfect,
but I'm still becoming me.
I'm not perfect,
but I've got love
and I'm enough.
