Forget the times he walked by, Forget the times he made you cry,
Forget the times he spoke your name, Remember now your not the same.
Forget the times he held your hand, Forget the sweet things if you can,
Forget the times & Don't pretend, Remember now he's just your friend.

I'm not perfect
I have long hair that never does what I want it to
All I hope is that it looks good to you
I'm not perfect
I have lots of muscle people put off as fat
All I hope is you look over that
I'm not perfect
I have so many scars covering my skin
All I hope is you don’t care I forgot the stories that led to them
I'm not perfect
I always make mistakes
All I hope is that you notice I fix them before it's to late
I'm not perfect
When I'm in a mood, sometimes I'll snap
All I hope is you don't care about that
I'm not perfect
I guess I really don't have that many stories to tell
All I hope is you wanted to catch me when I fell
