Flaws

We aren't in love and I'm not scared. 

I think I'd be nervous if something was there. 

I say I want love, I want a man, I want it all. 

I want to fall in love, I'm just too afraid to fall. 

If I give my heart, I give it all with no reserve. 

And I want to give my heart, but I just don't have the nerve. 

You aren't perfect and I'm not scared. 

And I don't know if that's very fair. 

I accept your faults, I forgive you all your flaws 

but it's not because I'm sweet so please hold the applause. 

It's only because I know in the back of my mind 

those flaws will make it easier to leave you when it's time. 

You aren't forever and I'm not scared. 

I have a feeling that I should probably care. 

It's really not a worry that there's a month and day 

when this will all be over and you will walk away. 

Really I'm relieved to have a concrete date. 

I don't have to mess it up, I just have to wait.
