Perfectos imperfectos

I feel like a jerk for not being able to give you what you expect from me
I still can’t open my heart
I’ll understand if you stop coming around
Though it makes me happy to know you felt the same way once
No matter how hard you tried to love
Your heart felt a chasm and it wasn’t selfishness

It just needed time, it wasn’t the right moment
We’re perfectly imperfect
And I’ve got a factory defect
My theory never works in practice
And I overthink too much

I feel like I’m going to miss a train
And if I stay, I’ll be my own hostage
When I close my eyes and look inside
I want to feel like I did things right

You don’t deserve lies, or suicidal dreams
I’ll spare you from making this wound even bigger
And when you close your eyes, remember me
I hope you can smile

I’m sorry for realizing all this too late
There are things that slip out of control
You can’t force yourself to fall in love
It happened to you, thank goodness you can understand me
Thanks for doing better and not falling for another mirage
That wasn’t selfishness

It just needed time, it wasn’t the right moment
We’re perfectly imperfect
And I’ve got a factory defect
My theory never works in practice
And I overthink too much
