paradise.

i know i'm not perfect

i know i'm not perfect
i'm a bit of a wreck
still shaken from
the pain and neglect
but i try my best
staying awake
just so you could rest

you can tell me i'm horrible
that you don't like me
but i still see you as perfect
even when it's hard to see

sometimes i mess up
i am only human
i don't mean to be disappointing
i'm just stuck in confusion

and it's hard to see in the rain
when you're shouting and calling my name
it's hard to not be scared
when you're the only thing keeping me sane

i'm just a boy with some faults
and i know it's not your fault
when i make the sweetest words
taste like bitter salt

i just feel like i can't do right
because one mistake
feels like a million fights
when the only comfort i have tonight
is me crying in the moonlight

i know i'm not perfect
far from it to be true
but i try so hard
i try to be... for you
