Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
Perfectly imperfect that's as good as it gets
I really love Jesus but sometimes I'm a mess
Can't meet a standard that's better than my best
Cause I'm just trying, surviving holding on by a thread
I can't be who you want me to be that's not me
I never said I had it all figured out
Yeah, I know a few things but I still got some doubts
Don't have to look too far to see that I'm flawed, yeah
Most of my problems only heaven can solve
Every heart has its scars, I've got mine, you've got yours
At the end of the day even roses have thorns
Thorns
Sometimes it's brutal being honest to God
But I can't pretend to be something that I'm not
Growing from soil like a flower in bloom
What's broken now will become beautiful soon
I never said I had it all figured out
Yeah, I know a few things but I still got some doubts
Don't have to look too far to see that I'm flawed, yeah
Most of my problems only heaven can solve
Every heart has its scars, I've got mine, you've got yours
At the end of the day even roses have thorns
Yeah... even roses have thorns...
Broken fallen chosen all these things
The light can still shine through the deepest pain
I never said I had it all figured out
Yeah, I know a few things but I still got some doubts
Don't have to look too far to see that I'm flawed, yeah
Most of my problems only heaven can solve
Every heart has its scars, I've got mine, you've got yours
At the end of the day even roses have thorns...
Yeah...
Even roses have, even roses have, even roses have...
