lyrics

Verse:
I don’t apologize for being who I am
But I’ll always try to do right by you
I’ll do the very best I can
And I won’t lie to you
Sometimes to myself I sit and say
I’m falling short of being the living proof
Of who I say I am

Chorus:
Not exactly perfect but I’ve given up that goal
It’s not exactly worth it when it’s wearing down your soul
I believe that I deserve to find the parts that make me whole
It’s on this journey I have learned it’s not about the place you’ve been
It’s where you go

Verse:
I will admit that I’ve never given too much
Was too afraid that I’d fall short
And knowing they would leave when the truth was revealed
I was the one holding the door
But I know that you’re sincere my love
And you’re not here to judge
I only want to be everything in this life
That is deserving of your love

Chorus:
Not exactly perfect but I’ve given up that goal
It’s not exactly worth it when it’s wearing down your soul
I believe that I deserve to find the parts that make me whole
It’s on this journey I have learned it’s not about the place you’ve been
It’s where you go

Vocal Ad Lib

Verse:
Not exactly perfect but I’ve given up that goal
It’s not exactly worth it when it’s wearing down your soul
I believe that I deserve to find the parts that make me whole
It’s on this journey I have learned it’s not about the place you’ve been
It’s where you go

Outro:
It’s where you go
It’s where you go and what you know
And who do you see when you look in the mirror
Who do you see when you look in the mirror
When you look in the mirror
When you look in the mirror
