I Know

I know that I'm not perfect
That I mess up every day
I know your life would be better
Without me in every way
 
I know I'm complicated
I know good days are rare
I know it's near impossible
For you to play it fair
 
If you believe it's all made up
There is nothing I can do
I know that if you believed at all
You'd know what I said was true
 
If I lied about the person I was
If that's what you choose to see
Then know that I believed it all
So then I would be lying to me
 
I believed I could be better
I believed I could be strong
I try to be better every single day
But now I know I was wrong
 
I cannot be the woman you need
God knows I wish I was
I pray each and every day
For the craziness to pass
 
If there is one thing I've lied about
Please know that this is true
The one thing I've said that isn't true
Is that I don't love you
 
It drives me crazy and hurts like hell
That you don't understand me at all
But even so I adore you so
It kills me each time I fall
 
I won't ask for your forgiveness
Because tomorrow may be the same
I won't ask for you to understand
I probably can't be tamed
 
So now my words are done
There's nothing more for me to say
Just know my heart belongs to you
Until my dying day
