Crazy Imperfections
How could I have sacrificed the rest of my life when I let you go?
My world all the sudden felt empty, how was I supposed to know?
All I thought about was running far away from my feelings for you
My self worth was non-existent, how was I supposed to believe you loved me too?
Some words begin to betray the mind, and lonely thoughts begin to build
You are just so far away; you left me feeling like I was stranded in an empty field
As much as I am bitter towards you, I also know that I would sacrifice all I could
I’d even give up my life to you, don’t doubt for a second I would
All these contradictions are confusing to me, trying to measure up to what you think I am
But not sure if I can ever be everything you think I can
I don’t want to let you go, but I also don’t want to be weighted down by expectations
Just love me for me, with all of my crazy imperfections
