Everybody has a side that they don't show
Everybody wants to keep it
Locked up like a dirty secret
There's a part of me that's dying to let it go
Let somebody see the person
Tucked away behind the curtain

Getting so tired of lying to myself again
I'm not okay
It's about time I find a way to tell you

I'm not perfect, no one is
Do you think you could love me just like this
'Cause I'm no angel
No stranger to the dark
But I could use the shelter of someone else's arms
Letting me be me
Even when I'm weak

Looking back I think it's fair to say I've grown
I'm old enough to know what love is
Not looking for a bed of roses
But playing a part is even worse than being alone
I'm running round in circles
Fighting the same old battles

Getting so tired of lying to myself again
I'm not okay
Just about to lose my mind if I can't find a way to tell you

I'm not perfect, no one is
Do you think you could love me just like this
'Cause I'm no angel
No stranger to the dark
But baby you're like starlight shining in my heart
Letting me be me
Even when I'm weak

Broken down in pieces
A shadow on the floor
Searching for a feeling
I can't take it anymore
Trying to stop the tears
I need you right here... with me

I'm not perfect, no one is
Do you think you could love me just like this
And I'm no angel
No stranger to the dark
But I could use the shelter of someone else's arms
Letting me be me
Even when I'm weak
