I can read on your face
I can read on your face
You expect my disappointment
You expect my disappointment
And you think that all you can be
And you think that all you can be
Is never gonna be enough
Is never gonna be enough
And you feel you've fallen short
And you feel you've fallen short
Well your doubts aren't silent
Well your doubts aren't silent
And it hurts me when my soul can hear
And it hurts me when my soul can hear
You underestimate me
You underestimate me
Never think that you don't know
Never think that you don't know
How to love me it isn't so
How to love me it isn't so
You don't need to be the perfect thing
You don't need to be the perfect thing
You don't have to give me anything
You don't have to give me anything
Only all you can give from your heart
Only all you can give from your heart
You don't need to be the perfect one
You don't need to be the perfect one
You're the closest I will ever come
You're the closest I will ever come
Oh-oh nobody's perfect at all
Oh-oh nobody's perfect at all
Nobody's perfect at all
Nobody's perfect at all
Until you fall in love with them
Until you fall in love with them
When you look at my face
When you look at my face
I know you don't see what I see
I know you don't see what I see
But a better version of myself
But a better version of myself
Someone I wish I could be
Someone I wish I could be
When we make love like this
When we make love like this
We are totally flawless
We are totally flawless
And I know we are at our best
And I know we are at our best
We are so beautiful
We are so beautiful
Never think that you don't know
Never think that you don't know
How to love me it isn't so
How to love me it isn't so
You don't need to be the perfect thing
You don't need to be the perfect thing
You don't have to give me anything
You don't have to give me anything
Only all you can give from your heart
Only all you can give from your heart
You don't need to be the perfect one
You don't need to be the perfect one
You're the closest I will ever come
You're the closest I will ever come
Oh-oh nobody's perfect at all
Oh-oh nobody's perfect at all
Nobody's perfect at all
Nobody's perfect at all
Until you fall in love with them
Until you fall in love with them
