I wake up late, I miss my calls
Trip on my laces, I crash and fall
Say the wrong thing, break the mold
But I won't do what I’ve been told
You roll your eyes, call me a mess
I smile and say, “Well, I confess…”
I’m not here to be your star
I’m just fine with who I are
I’m not perfect — never was
Don’t fit in your plastic gloss
I’ve got bruises, I’ve got flaws
But I own them all, just because
I’m not perfect — I’m just me
Take it or leave it, let me be
I won’t break to fit your world
I’m not your shiny little girl/boy
I don’t always get it right
I cry at 2 a.m. some nights
But I’d rather feel too much
Than live numb, out of touch
So keep your filters, keep your pride
I’ve got real fire deep inside
You call me crazy, maybe true
But I’d never wanna be like you
I’m not perfect — never claimed
Won’t play your image, won't play your game
I wear my chaos like a crown
And I won’t ever let you drag me down
I’m not perfect — and that’s okay
At least I live my own damn way
I won’t beg, I won’t pretend
This is my life — I won’t bend
You want pretty, you want tame
I bring thunder, I bring flame
You want silence, I bring noise
I'm not here to please your voice
I’m not perfect — I’m alive
Cracked and flawed, but I survive
You want a doll, go find another
I’m not plastic — I’m a fighter
I’m not perfect — I’m still proud
Still screaming when I’m not allowed
So here I stand, wild and free
Not perfect… but perfectly me!
Yeah, I’m not perfect…
And I never wanna be!
