I am so imperfect in every single way
There are those who can accept me and those who never say
Things up to my face, but I can understand the fear
It doesn't make it easy, but it's happened now for years
If I were such a bad seed, would you really wanna know?
I'd like to think that if I was, I'd be the one to let you go
'Cause love ain't just for keeping, it's a test to say the least
Maybe if I saw it, I could crawl to kiss their feet
But there's only one thing that I'm ever gonna need
That's a promise, it's a promise that you still believe in me
I could be a monster, but perception is the trick
There are those who think I'm crazy, while some others find me sick
No one ever asked me, but they still don't understand
If things went down a different path, I would always be your man
If I still was such a nuisance, they could hide me in the dark
What I've seen is not my choice, but it leads straight to my heart
While they can only see a stranger, someone hiding in disguise
They're the ones who hide with smoke and mirrors, can they even tell who's blind?
But there's only one thing that I'm ever gonna need
That's a promise, it's a promise that you still believe in me
(bridge goes here)
But there's only one thing that I'm ever gonna need
That's a promise, it's a promise that you still believe in me
