[Verse 1]
I'm sorry I'm not perfect, I wish I could be better
Always the problem child, and I'll stay that way forever
I never was the smart kid, never made you proud
When I came home with tests, What's this grade all about?
I've always kinda felt like I wasn't good enough
I didn't deserve this life, and I didn't deserve your love
But you had my back through everything
And now that I'm seventeen
Making music every day
And talking about smoking weed
Even though you disagree, you know the dream lives in me
And it thrives and pounds harder the more you believe in me
I promise I'll pay you back with every dime I make
Until the guilt that lives in me decides to goes away
I remember from a young age I've always felt bad
Like everything I did, was worst than the last
I wish I could go back, I wish that I could fix it
Do it all over so I don't grow to be a misfit
[Hook]
I'm sorry I'm not perfect
X 8
[Verse 2]
Dear Mommy I fucking love you
As long as I'm here, nothing will ever bug you
I know that me and Zach can always get under your nerves
I just need to let you know that we'll never do our worst
It don't matter what words I say in my songs
You're the only one who knows me past this guise that I put on
Try to trust me all you can, even past the disappointment
I swear to fucking God I tried so hard to avoid it
Try to do my best in any way you seeing fit
In my mind, I will always feel like I don't amount to shit
Not in your heart, not in your mind
I wish I left it all behind
I wish I lost my free spirit
Just so you could see me shine
Hit the books hard
Excel and follow in your footsteps
A scientist like you
Or bio major like Zach is
I don't understand that, I practiced
But I love rap
And even though I won't be like you
I'll still find happiness
[Hook]
