[Verse 1]
I thought perfect was a complimentary way
To say that I am living free, unshaken
But I'm not, flawless isn't what I wanna be
Heaven only knows the realest me, I'm faking

[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah, I've been where you've been
And I learned a thing or two since then

[Chorus]
That it might take not being afraid of heartache
Acting a fool with no shame
Loving your everything
And you might break
But you'll learn to love your mistakes
You gotta know that you saved
You with your perfect mess

[Verse 2]
And I played everyone, pretending I was clean
But I could write a book on being mean to myself
And I climbed higher than they ever asked me to
Everything I did I would outdo with no help

[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah, I've been where you've been
And I learned a thing or two since then
[Chorus]
That it might take not being afraid of heartache
Acting a fool with no shame
Loving your everything
And you might break
But you'll learn to love your mistakes
You gotta know that you're saved
You with your perfect mess

[Bridge]
And I know you're terrified
But I'll be by your side
To remind you why
You might forget the rules
But we'll keep loving you
You're not what you do

[Chorus 2]
It might take not being afraid of heartache
Acting a fool with no shame
Loving your everything

It might take not being afraid of heartache
Acting a fool with no shame
Loving your everything
Oh and you might break
But you'll learn to love your mistakes
You gotta know that you're saved
You with your perfect mess
[Outro]
Yeah you're saved
You with your perfect mess
Yeah you're saved
You with your perfect mess
