Lyrics

[Verse 1] I'm flawed, I'm flawed, I know this You like me in small doses What am I supposed to do with that? (Yeah, yeah, ooh) You say I bring the drama Like you got halos on ya Half the time, it's you that makes it bad (Yeah, yeah, ooh) [Pre-Chorus] I'm wild, I'm jealous, insane I'm scared, but I don't run away (You do) It's pissing me off when you say "Calm down, calm down," like that You know that I'm in it for real And you know everything that I feel Yeah, to me, it is a big deal So don't come at me like that [Chorus] And it's true, I can't seem to shake it loose 'Cause all this insecurity's hurtin' me Tired of tryin' to be perfect for you I'm done jumping through hoops There's too much time I've wasted on chasin' it Face it, I cannot be perfect for you Be perfect for you, be perfect for you, be perfect Yeah, I cannot be perfect for you [Verse 2] I wear emotions on my sleeve I say exactly what I mean Isn't that real enough for you? (Yeah, yeah, ooh) I got no shame, I trust myself Won't change for you and no one else Making me feel I'm not enough when I am [Pre-Chorus] I'm wild, I'm jealous, insane I'm scared, but I don't run away (You do) It's pissing me off when you say "Calm down, calm down," like that You know that I'm in it for real And you know everything that I feel Yeah, to me, it is a big deal So don't come at me like that [Chorus] And it's true, I can't seem to shake it loose 'Cause all this insecurity's hurtin' me Tired of tryin' to be perfect for you I'm done jumping through hoops There's too much time I've wasted on chasin' it Face it, I cannot be perfect for you Be perfect for you, be perfect for you, be perfect Yeah, I cannot be perfect for you Be perfect for you, be perfect for you, be perfect Yeah, I cannot be perfect for you [Bridge] So love me, or leave me alone So love me, or leave me alone So love me, or leave me alone So love me, or leave me alone [Chorus] And it's true, I can't seem to shake it loose 'Cause all this insecurity's hurtin' me Tired of tryin' to be perfect for you I'm done jumping through hoops There's too much time I've wasted on chasin' it Face it, I cannot be perfect for you Be perfect for you, be perfect for you, be perfect Yeah, I cannot be perfect for you Be perfect for you, be perfect for you, be perfect Yeah, I cannot be perfect for you
