  • You're worth so much
    It'll never be enough
    To see what you have to give
    How beautiful you are
    Yet seem so far from everything
    You're wanting to be
    You're wanting to be

    Tears falling down again
    Tears falling down

    You fall to your knees
    You beg, you plead
    Can I be somebody else
    For all the times I hate myself?
    Your failures devour your heart
    In every hour, you're drowning
    In your imperfection

    You mean so much
    That heaven would touch
    The face of humankind for you
    How special you are
    Revel in your day
    You're fearfully and wonderfully made
    You're wonderfully made

    Tears falling down again
    Come let the healing begin

    You fall to your knees
    You beg, you plead
    Can I be somebody else
    For all the times I hate myself?
    Your failures devour your heart
    In every hour, you're drowning
    In your imperfection

    You're worth so much
    So easily crushed
    want to be like everyone else
    No one escapes
    Every breath we take
    Dealing with our own skeletons, skeletons

    You fall to your knees
    You beg, you plead
    Can I be somebody else
    For all the times I hate myself?
    Your failures devour your heart
    In every hour, you're drowning
    In your imperfection

    Won't you believe, yeah
    Won't you believe, yeah
    All the things I see in you

    You're not the only one
    You're not the only one
    Drowning in imperfection Writer/s: Alexander Greenwald
