My imperfections, you let them mean nothing
I'd have done the same with yours if you had any
But just because I'm a mess doesn't mean this has to end
I deem it a certainty, you'll never find such love again
Take another step, take another step back
Don't leave
Look at where we've been through time
I'll always your life over mine
My limitations, we laughed about them
The irony of feeling small when I am over 6 feet tall had you sold on me
But just because I'm a mess doesn't mean this has to end
I deem it a certainty, you'll never find such love again
Take another step, take another step back
Don't leave
Look at where we've been through time
