Met my goals and had my list of accomplishments
Striving for perfection so I wouldn't be missed
Always sought approval, thought I was strong
So where did I go wrong
Work a little harder, letting nobody near
Pushing all my limits just to conquer my fear
Hide behind a smile, but it's all pretend
So when will all this end?
Please meet me here again
You never said I had to earn it
You only said to come as you are
Nothing I've done could make me deserve it
I wondered if grace could reach that far
Maybe you spilled the paint
In order to create
A canvas masterpiece
Helping me believe
You love imperfect me
Every time I ran, I never got very far
Your promises remind us just to come as we are
Surrendering my burdens, lay them down at your feet
So what does all this mean
My new identity
You never said I had to earn it
You only said to come as you are
Nothing I've done could make me deserve it
I wondered if grace could reach that far
So maybe you spilled the paint
In order to create
A canvas masterpiece
Helping me believe
You love imperfect me
Every tear
Every fear
You have made it clear
You have made it clear
Every tear
Every fear
You have made it clear
You remind me that you're near
I am beautiful
I am beautiful
I am beautiful
I am beautiful
You never said
No no no no
You only said
You never said I had to earn it
You only said to come as you are
Nothing I've done could make me deserve it
I wondered if grace could reach that far
So maybe you spilled the paint
In order to create
A canvas masterpiece
Helping me believe
Oh a masterpiece
Helping me believe
A masterpiece
Helping me believe
You love imperfect me
