Defective (Stripped)

Here I am (here I am)
Alone, alone again
As I’m forced (as I’m forced)
To pretend (pretend)

I’m happier without it
Wasn’t destined for love
I am happier without it
Cause every time I give up (give up)

I may be a little defective
But I belong in someone’s collection

And so if you ever wondered why
You always saw me cry
It’s cause I was mortified
By my softer side

I may be a little defective
But I’m learning to love this reflection

You don’t think that I see
How it’s falling right out of me
I can’t help that I can’t breathe
Everytime that you’re with me

But when everything is out
I swear there'll be a heart
It’ll start to speak
Tell you’re a work of art

Saying all that’s been missing
Saying all that’s been missing

Could’ve used a warning
Didn’t want them mourning
I never meant any harm (harm)
