Perfect Mess

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I thought perfect was a complimentary way To say that I am living free, unshaken But I'm not, flawless isn't what I wanna be Heaven only knows the realest me, I'm faking [Pre-Chorus] Yeah, I've been where you've been And I learned a thing or two since then [Chorus] That it might take not being afraid of heartache Acting a fool with no shame Loving your everything And you might break But you'll learn to love your mistakes You gotta know that you saved You with your perfect mess [Verse 2] And I played everyone, pretending I was clean But I could write a book on being mean to myself And I climbed higher than they ever asked me to Everything I did I would outdo with no help [Pre-Chorus] Yeah, I've been where you've been And I learned a thing or two since then [Chorus] That it might take not being afraid of heartache Acting a fool with no shame Loving your everything And you might break But you'll learn to love your mistakes You gotta know that you're saved You with your perfect mess [Bridge] And I know you're terrified But I'll be by your side To remind you why You might forget the rules But we'll keep loving you You're not what you do [Chorus 2] It might take not being afraid of heartache Acting a fool with no shame Loving your everything It might take not being afraid of heartache Acting a fool with no shame Loving your everything Oh and you might break But you'll learn to love your mistakes You gotta know that you're saved You with your perfect mess [Outro] Yeah you're saved You with your perfect mess Yeah you're saved You with your perfect mess
