[Hook: Ke$ha]
I know I'm not perfect, I know I got issues..
I know that I've got a sordid past, and yeah some bad tattoos..
I'm not a model, I'm not a saint..
I'm sorry but I am just not sorry, cause I swear and cause I drink..
I know I'm not perfect..

[Verse 1: Elusive]
But I can keep on wishing
And you can see what it's like, from my position
My only opposition, is myself, and my doubt
It's like every time I'm out, it's with inhibition
And there's no imposition, cause I have been rejected
I lost my heart to the abyss, when I was disrespected
If you ain't been affected, you ain't seeing me
I'm sorry I am not what you expected
(I know I'm not perfect..)
But at least I'm real
I gave my heart away, there's nothing left to steal
Except my feelings, and now I've learnt
That it's best not revealing them, so how can I expect to heal?
But still I try, though it seems I'm weak
Cause you're the reason I'm breathing even though we don't speak
I couldn't fit the archetype of what you wanted, but I'm me
And I would rather be unique, cause I know we're all..
[Bridge: Ke$ha]
I know we're all different, baby that's life..
But all of these differences, they make me feel alive..
And I've got this question, yeah, been burning through my head..
Can't we all get over ourselves, and just stop talking shit..
I know I'm not perfect..

[Verse 2: Elusive]
Ha, like it's my only flaw
It's why I'm lying here, on the cold and lonely floor
I had to go before, you knew how much you meant to me
Eventually I'm letting go, like why else would you hold me for?
Walk through the open door, I know it soon closes
On to a path, lined on both sides with blue roses
It's like the love, they don't exist I'll admit
I guess God's the only one, who truly knows us..
(I know I'm not perfect..)
But that was your deception
The only thing I tried to show was more affection
It was a hail mary, but even in the dictionary
You should know love comes before perfection
But I'm your own reflection, looking in
Love must be the only game I couldn't win
But I ain't giving up, I can turn my life around
Hoping one day I'll be good again, but I know I'm not..

[Outro: DMB (w/ Ke$ha)]
And I don't try to be..
Look in my eyes and see..
What I am..
I know that I'm not perfect..
(I know I'm not perfect..)
And I don't try to be..
Look deep inside of me..
Here I am..
I know that I'm not perfect..
(I know I'm not perfect..)
No, I'm not perfect..
No, I'm not perfect..
No, I'm not perfect, perfect..
Know that I'm not perfect..
(I know I'm not perfect..)
No, I'm not perfect..
No, I'm not perfect, perfect..
Know that I'm not perfect..
