Imperfection



Trust, love, faith
I put my all at stake
But I’m drowned in losses
Thorns instead of roses

What’s love without heartbreak
I say nothing’s a piece of cake
What’s trust without doubt
What’s happiness all about

I stood but I fell
Darkness is where I dwell
I swam but I drowned
I reach for the sky but I’m still on the ground

Put me together, fix me back
Perfection is what I lack
I’m done with life, no, I’m done with myself
You broke me, you yourself

Now I know where I belong
I’ll stand proud and strong
I know it’s all blackness
But I won’t search for the light, I’ll find peace in my darkness
