I tried to give all myself to you
But before I can get there
Got thoughts of me I'm tryin' to lose

Yeah, I got my own imperfections
I got my own set of scars to hide
I got my own imperfections
I can't hold your heart when I'm fixin' mine

So
(Give it up, give it up)
I ain't gonna save you
(Give it up, give it up)
Now
(Give it up, give it up)
I ain't gonna save you, no
(Give it up, give it up)
Now

'Cause I got my own imperfections
I got my own imperfections
I got my own imperfections
Yeah, I got my own
I got my own

Hold on, not tryna put you on the shelf
But, before I can love you
I need to learn to love myself

Yeah, I got my own imperfections
I got my own set of scars to hide
I got my own imperfections
I can't hold your heart when I'm fixin' mine

So
(Give it up, give it up)
I ain't gonna save you
(Give it up, give it up)
Now
(Give it up, give it up)
I ain't gonna save you
(Give it up, give it up)
Now

'Cause I got my own imperfections
I got my own imperfections
I got my own imperfections
Yeah, I got my own
I got my own

They're part of me and you are too
And I don't really wanna choose
Can you love them the way that I love you?
They made me who I am today
And they won't ever go away
Can you love them the way I love you

'Cause I got my own imperfections
I got my own imperfections
I got my own imperfections
Yeah, I got my own
I got my own

Before I can love you
I need to learn to love myself
Before I can trust you
I need to learn to trust myself
