lyrics

I wish I was perfect, but it's not meant to be
I know what I'm after, but it's just out of reach
Cause when in the moment, it's not easy to see
The words that I'm saying, hit you differently

Admitting you've got faults is never easy
But owning who I am, can start to change your mind

Sometimes I know that I can be
Not who I am but that's all you see
And if you try, dig carefully
You'll see there's much more at the heart of me

I try to be decent, I try to be kind
I never tell secrets, unless they are mine
And you'll have to pardon, this heart on my sleeve
But the upside is knowing, I'm not out to deceive

From afar it might seem like you know me
But I can guarantee that you have yet to know the truth

Sometimes I know that I can be
Not who I am but that's all you see
And if you try, dig carefully
You'll see there's much more at the heart of me
I know who I wanna be
But you can't look past any history
And if you try, dig carefully
You'll see there's much more at the heart of me

How do I make you see that there are things that I do right
Take some time and you will see I've got another side
I don't wanna be, someone who's your enemy
Can you set me free
