sometimes the things that keep me
from loving myself fully
come crashing down onto my head
and make me wish that I were dead

but then people that love me
they come and they remind me
what I’m doing here
what I’m doing here

and my nail polish isn’t perfect
and my makeup is always smudged
and I’m just a hopeless romantic
can’t stop myself falling in love

my makeup might never be perfect
and my heart might always be fucked
but I’m just a hopeless romantic
can’t stop myself falling in love

and so the flaws in my performance
of femininity
they reflect the deeper flaws
inside of me

but I don’t wanna change them
I just wanna embrace them
I might always look like a mess
but don’t you dare think any less of me
because of what you see

and my nail polish isn’t perfect
and my makeup is always smudged
and I’m just a hopeless romantic
can’t stop myself falling in love

my makeup might never be perfect
and my heart might always be fucked
but I’m just a hopeless romantic
can’t stop myself falling in love

And so this song's for all of us
Who just can’t seem to get it right
We’ll never be the flawless ones
Never be the right size but

We don’t need to be flawless
And me? I couldn’t care less
We’re perfect in our imperfections
Don’t care about your predilections

Cuz my feelings they are messy
And even when my clothes are dressy
I always seem to look disheveled
But in this mess I revel

Cuz life is complicated
and people are complicated
and that’s ok
It’ll always be that way

and my nail polish isn’t perfect
and my makeup is always smudged
and I’m just a hopeless romantic
can’t stop myself falling in love

my makeup might never be perfect
and my heart might always be fucked
but I’m just a hopeless romantic
can’t stop myself falling in love
