Here are all my flaws,
You can hate me for all
that is wrong.
So go ahead and sing
your sad song,
But leave me out of the
title.
Here is the truth,
I give this all to you.
Here is my cash there
isn’t much left,
Here are my hopes and
my dreams.
I give you the truth,
let me let loose,
Let me show you who I
really am.
Here is our history,
let me lay it at your feet,
You can run from our
dream if you please,
But no, I am not close
to being perfect.
For all the mistakes I
have made,
I take all of my words
back to the page.
The red marker covers
each line,
Why can’t they all be erased?
I wish we could go back
to the beginning,
But then I remember
that I am only human.
I am scared when we are
all alone,
I get choked up on
every note.
I have this tightness
in my chest,
And there you go taking
the best.
I am living off of the
dirt I sleep on
And my scars still
bleed easily.
I have these freckles
all over my skin,
And I burn when I am in
the sun,
And yes I can’t stop
all my sins.
I can love you with all that is within,
But I can’t stop myself
from lying,
And most of the time I
don’t know why,
From time to time I
lose my way,
And I never had the
words to say.
But this is what you
got from me.
For all the days you
sat wondering,
This is all of me, this
is who I am.
I am scared that I
might get scared,
And that I might even
lose my mind.
I wish I could remember
all the memories,
But then I remember
that I am only human.
I laugh at the craziest
actions,
And feel depressed when
bad things happen.
I say what I mean,
And I mean what I say.
I don’t get angry too
often,
But I won’t change for
anyone.
I am not in the greatest
shape,
And I am not one of the
smartest people,
And I make many mistakes,
And I yell a lot too.
I may not have the
straightest smile,
But I know how to stick
around for a while.
I know how to love with
my heart.
For all the pain that
still haunts me,
I wish I could believe
in the likeliness of you and me,
But reality always
knocks me off my feet,
Damn you are so
beautiful,
And I lose control so
easy.
I wish I could be more than
me,
But then I remember I
am only human.
Sometimes I am a
coward,
Every time I see you in
the room,
I get sweat sick and I want
to walk away,
You are the reason
these dreams are so real.
And you are the reason I no longer feel.
I am a broken soul,
Living in my broken
home.
My heart is fragile,
And my skin is easy to
cut into.
My knees are weak,
But here I am still
begging at your feet.
I live with all my
regrets,
And I blame myself.
I searched for
something astounding,
And you were all I've found.
For all the days and
the nights,
I have sat here in
front these white walls.
I still dream of the
day our wounds will heal.
Then I could carry you off
into the sunset,
And then I could kiss
you one last time,
But then I remember I am only human.
