Lyrics

Imperfect

[Verse 1]

Some things

Are better off forgotten

We bury them in places that

We really only visit by ourself

Oh, and you were

A version like no other

Oh, they never tell you what to do

When all you see is gone

What's the sense in anything

When what they say is wrong?

[Chorus]

Oh

What do you wanna hear?

Do you wanna know how many times

I tore myself apart 'cause you're not here?

And, oh

Why do you wanna know?

Does it make you feel alive?

I've had to die to finally let you go

[Verse 2]

Stop me (Stop me)

I find myself believing (I find myself believing)

Oh, a story gets rewritten so

A blasphemy's permitted once again (A blasphemy's permitted once again)

Oh, and you were

So perfectly imperfect

Oh, they never tell you what to do

When all you have are lies

What's the sense in anything?

It's just one more goodbye

[Chorus]

Oh

What do you wanna hear?

Do you wanna know how many times

I tore myself apart 'cause you're not here?

And, oh

Why do you wanna know?

Does it make you feel alive?

I've had to die to finally let you go

Oh, yeah

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]

Oh

What do you wanna hear?

Do you wanna know how many times

I tore myself apart 'cause you're not here?

And, oh

Why do you wanna know?

Does it make you feel alive?

I've had to die to finally let you go

[Outro]

Oh

Oh-whoa

Finally let you go
