Yeah ohhh
Used to think I needed perfect
Now I know, perfect ain't even real
Had a list in my notes, all the things I thought I needed
Curves, smile, heels on, dressin' like a model every weekend
Trophy-type love I could post online
But it left me cold every single time
Wanted someone that looked good on my arm
But I didn't feel peace in her charm
Lonely in the spotlight, no one saw me cry
She looked perfect 'til I looked inside
Now I'm searchin' for a different kind of rare
Not made of filters, but love that cares
Not someone perfect for the world to see
But someone who gon' pour into me
Perfection don't love me like you do
Flaws and all, you're still my truth
You ain't everything I dreamed
But you everything I need
They want materialistic, I want roots
And I found 'em all in you
Perfection ain't real, but this
This is proof
You ain't loud, but you show up every time
You ain't flashy, but your soul still shines
No agenda, no disguise
You just love me with your whole heart, no lies
You pray with me when I can't pray myself
Help me breathe when I feel overwhelmed
You pour into me without bein' asked
You stay when the world turns its back
Who gon' hold me on the bad days
Who gon' stay when I push love away
Who gon' build with me, brick by brick
Not just live for the flicks and the clicks
They want attention, you give peace
They want games, you bring me ease
You saw the cracks, but stayed anyway
You ain't perfect and I love you that way
Perfection don't love me like you do
Flaws and all, you're still my truth Still my truth
They call it "settling" but I call it seen
Cause I found peace, not a dream
They want materialistic, I want roots
And I found 'em all in you Ooh yeah
Perfection ain't real but what we got is
Yeah yeah, what we got is
Real love
True love
I choose you
Perfection ain't real what we got is real mmm
What we got, what we got yeah
