All Imperfect Things - You And I

Painting pictures of broken pasts

When colours never mean (Putting one word over another)

Hopes and dreams in menageries

Now the shards fall on the ground (Never leaving a trace)

With our hopes and with our minds

Gluing our hope back together (Take it because I’m sick)

Only to break another day

Break another day

I am not who you thought I was

I don’t even know who the fuck I am seeing

I saw your picture in a photograph

And that’s where I thought I dwelt

In you, in you, in you

Make me like it

In you, in you, in you

Make me like myself

In you, in you, in you

We’re so imperfect

In you, in you, in you

Our struggles are imperfect

You’ll never take it

Thought I know you’ll try

You’ll never take it

All

All

These

Imperfect things

(This is a statement, a statement of self-respect)
