Victoria Monét
Not Perfect
[Verse 1]
It's nice to meet you
I don't think we've met before
You're the same girl
That almost gave up
Lying on the bedroom floor
It's nice to meet you
All the pain in those blue eyes
Is gonna disappear
Just like the stars do
When the sun rises
[Pre-Chorus]
I've never been one to cry before
Never been one to cry
At least not with an audience
I kept it all inside
[Chorus]
But I can get hurt
I can get messy
I can be bluе
Counting my blessings
I'm not perfect
But fuck, I'm trying
I can work hard
I can bе sexy
Still insecure
Like everybody
I'm not perfect
But fuck, I'm trying
[Verse 2]
You look familiar
With the make-up off your face
Just another human being
Trying to finally find your place
You look familiar
I know you've been a lonely right
You never quite fit in
You've always been up right outside
[Pre-Chorus]
I've never been one to cry before
Never been one to cry
At least not with an audience
I kept it all inside
[Chorus]
But I can get hurt
I can get messy
I can be blue
Counting my blessings
I'm not perfect
But fuck, I'm trying
I can work hard
I can be sexy
Still insecure
Like everybody
I'm not perfect
But fuck, I'm trying
[Post-Chorus]
Trying, trying
I'm trying, trying
I'm trying, trying
Fuck, I'm trying
I'm trying, trying
I'm trying, trying
I'm trying, trying
Fuck, I'm trying
[Bridge]
I can be wrong
I can be jealous
But I'll be there
When nobody else is
I'm not perfect
I'm not perfect
[Chorus]
But I can get hurt
I can get messy
I can be blue
Counting my blessings
I'm not perfect
But fuck, I'm trying
I can work hard
I can be sexy
I'm insecure
Like everybody
I'm not perfect
But fuck, I'm trying
[Post-Chorus]
Trying, trying
I'm trying, trying
I'm trying, trying
Fuck, I'm trying
I'm trying, trying
I'm trying, trying
I'm trying, trying
Fuck, I'm trying
