lyrics

Nobody Is Perfect (After All)

Verse:
So, wanting you wasn't easy,
After all I'm a girl
So, wanting you wasn't clear
After all it's been trouble from the start

So getting to know you wasn't easy,
You were strong and protected like you should be

Bridge:
Fearing the day we'll have to part
It's been trouble from the start

Chorus:
Nobody is perfect
But you're pretty fucking close
And I'm not pretending, not pretending that
Nobody is perfect but you're pretty fucking close
And I'm not pretending, I'm not pretending it's a
Ghost of a hope I once had, just be glad I've been disappointed.

Verse:
Mystery doesn't work well for me
It's not easy to be calm around you.
So there's a lot of anguish and there's plenty of pain,
There's a lot of risk, it comes from the gain

Bridge:
Fearing the day we'll have to part
It's been trouble from the start

Chorus:
Nobody is perfect
But you're pretty fucking close
And I'm not pretending, not pretending that
Nobody is perfect but you're pretty fucking close
And I'm not pretending, I'm not pretending it's a
Ghost of a hope I once had, just be glad I've been disappointed.

Nobody is perfect
But you're pretty fucking close
And I'm not pretending, not pretending that
Nobody is perfect but you're pretty fucking close
And I'm not pretending, I'm not pretending it's a
Ghost of a hope I once had, just be glad I've been disappointed.

Nobody is perfect
But you're pretty fucking close
And I'm not pretending, not pretending that
Nobody is perfect but you're pretty fucking close
And I'm not pretending, I'm not pretending it's a
Ghost of a hope I once had, just be glad I've been disappointed.
