Alex G - Perfect Mess Lyrics






I find
Perfect was a complimentary
Way to say that I am living free
And shaking

But I'm not
Flawless isn't what I wanna be
Heaven only knows the realest me
I'm faking

Yeah I've been where you've been
And I learned a thing or two since then

That it might take
Not being afraid of heartache
Acting a fool with no shame
Loving your everything

And you might break
But you learn to love your mistakes
You've gotta know that you saved
You with your perfect mess

And I played
Everyone pretending I was clean
But I could write a book on being mean
To myself

And I climbed
Higher than they ever asked me to
Everything I did I wouldn't do
With no help

Yeah I've been where you've been
And I learned a thing or two since then

That it might take
Not being afraid of heartache
Acting a fool with no shame
And loving your everything

And you might break
But you learn to love your mistakes
You've gotta know that you saved
You with your perfect mess

And I know you're terrified
But I'll be by your side
To remind you why
And you might forget the rules
But we'll keep loving you
You're not why you do

It might take
Not being afraid of heartache
Acting a fool with no shame
Loving your everything

It might take
Not being afraid of heartache
Acting a fool with no shame
And loving your everything

Oh and you might break
But you learn to love your mistakes
You've gotta know that you saved
You with your perfect mess

Yeah you saved
You with your perfect mess
Yeah you saved
You with your perfect mess

    First time write here.. NEVER had a reason to write to any artist.. before now...
    I just want to say keep going with your music, this song (not gonna lie) brought me to tears, you sung with such honesty about being true to yourself and I believe that is one of the best things to do.. you call it a Perfect Mess which is true we all are Perfectly Imperfect.. I had to go through alot by myself to find who I was and not what everyone wanted me to be "Perfect" .. it was hard but I am me and Im happily Imperfect, a beautiful mess in a messy world.. your music plus many more have helped me in my time of need so I just wanted to say thank you and keep being you.

    ❤ I thought perfect was a complimentary
    Way to say that I am living free
    I'm shaking
    But I'm not
    Flawless isn't what I want to be
    Heaven only knows the realest me

    Yeah I've been where you've been

    Acting a fool with no shame
    Loving your everything
    And you might break
    But you'll learn to love your mistakes
    You gotta know that you saved you with your perfect mess
    In the plane everyone pretending I was clean
    But I could write a book on being me to myself
    And I climbed higher than they ever asked me to
    Everything I did I would outdo with no help
    Yeah I've been where you've been
    And I learned a thing or two since then
    That it might take not being afraid of heartache
    Acting a fool with no shame
    Loving your everything
    And you might break
    But you'll learn to love your mistakes
    You gotta know that you saved you with your perfect mess
    And I know you're terrified
    But I'll be by your side

    You're not what you do
    It might take not being afraid of heartache
    Acting a fool with no shame

    It might take not being afraid of heartache
    Acting a fool with no shame

    You might break
    But you'll learn to love your mistakes
    You gotta know that you saved you with your perfect mess
    Yeah you saved you with your perfect mess
    Yeah you saved you with your perfect mess ❤

    This song is so beautiful and I relate to it a lot, thank you so much Alex for creating these wonderful songs, can't stop listening to this and Simple Kind of Love lately!!
