I'M Not Perfect

Girl, I need you to know I'm not perfect
I don't think I can make it any clearer
When I look at my reflection
Am I seeing a broken man or a broken mirror?

You can do better, don't take it wrong
No point in trying to revisit a place that's gone
I'm in and out of clubs
I'm a good man who just doesn't know how to love 

My parents chose drink over me, so I detached myself from feelings
How can any girl heal me, when I have numerous wounds still bleeding
I'll find my way, but it's something I have to do alone
You're a queen, but I can't provide you the throne

You deserve so much more
I always gave you less
You offered me a clean start
Somehow I still made a mess

I'm battling demons, that are twice my size 
Letting love close is something I struggle with
I'd tell you I miss you, but I'm still having to fight my pride
You're who I'll hold dearly, even if you're not who I cuddle with 

Girl, I need you to know I'm not perfect
I don't think I can make it any clearer
When I look at my reflection
Am I seeing a broken man or a broken mirror?
