I Tried To Be Perfect

Learn to love me for my imperfections
Just as I've loved you for yours
Such a long road we've traveled together
Such a long time I've tried to change...
Tried to be who you want me to be
Tried to be who you need me to be
Tried to be who you expected me to be
Tried to be everything but me...
Tried and tried until I snapped
Now everything is in shambles
Maybe I'm too forgiving
Maybe I'm blinded by love
Maybe I'm just a fool...
Maybe you don't deserve my forgiveness
Forgiveness isn't deserved or earned...
I can be such a contradiction
You can be too selfish for your own good...
We can learn so much if we just listen
For once keep my feelings in mind
Take a walk in my shoes
God knows that's all I do for you
Maybe I'm wrong, maybe this is all a waste...
I really hope not, that would be such a shame
I wish for so much, but still I try...
Try to be what you need me to be
Sorry if there's only one thing i know how to be
Sorry if that's all I want to be...
