I'm Not Perfect Lyrics

Today I washed my makeup away so the mirror could see my face

Gotta shut the world out and breakdown so I can see what's left of me
Time for me to be alone, where I feel home and remember what I believe
I just wanna cry out loud, cuz it's the only sound that will truly set me

Of change, change
And ooh, I know it's the only way

[Chorus]
Gotta shut the world out and breakdown so I can see what's left of me
Time for me to be alone, where I feel home and remember what I believe
What I believe
I just wanna cry out loud cuz it's the only sound that will truly set me
Free
It will set me free
I'm standing still to say to you I'm not perfect, perfect
Just thought you should know
Just thought you should know
