I don't like my teeth
My tired old eyes or my nose
Or my rapidly receding hairline
And that's just my face
Don't you get me started
On what I've got stashed away under the bonnet

If this catalogue keeps exponentially growing
Soon it'll sink this little lifeboat I'm stranded on

Oh my god it's so easy to forget
To be a human being is to be a total mess
I love the flaws in others every day
But that's easy
The tricky part is learning how to love those things in me

I wish I was braver
I wish I was smarter
I wish I was thinner
I wish I was stronger
I wish I could read a book cover to cover
I swear it was easier when I was younger
I wish I could touch you
Without getting nervous
Sing for the fun
Without needing a meaning or a purpose

But oh my god it's so easy to forget
To be a human being
Is to be a total mess
But I looked into the mirror and I almost smiled today
I am practically imperfect in every single way
The tricky part is learning how to love those things in me
