Change doesn't just come without trying

Your love wont scare the thoughts away that keep me up at night

And I can't get through my life without hurting

The people I love sometimes

So I learn to find the beauty in forgiveness

And choosing who's worth having that kind of patience for

See, I want you to see who I'm becoming

Not who I was before

I found I can't control the ways in which we grow

I know it's not a perfect world

I'm grieving everyday a love thats gone away

I know it's not a perfect world

Answers don't come easy without looking

And the pain I've felts the reason I know anything at all

But sometimes I get tired just of living

And then my sister calls

The sun outside my window yields the morning

It makes sure that I don't stay in my bed too long

When I treat the way you love me like a warning

That one day you'll be gone

I've found I can't control the way that these things go

I know it's not a perfect world

I'm grieving everyday things I'll never get to say

I know it's not a perfect world

I know is not a perfect world

I'm grieving everyday the time that slips away

I know it's not a perfect world
