[Verse 1]
I try to give all of myself to you
But before I can get there
Got parts of me I'm trying to lose

[Refrain]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
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

[Chorus]
'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

[Verse 2]
Hold on, not tryna put you on the shelf
But, before I can love you
I need to learn to love myself

[Refrain]
'Cause, 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

[Pre-Chorus]
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

[Chorus]
'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

[Bridge]
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 that I love you?

[Chorus]
'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
(But I got)

[Outro]
Before I can love you (Before I can love you)
I need to learn to love myself (I got my own imperfections)
Before I can trust you (Before I can trust you)
I need to learn to trust myself
(I need to, I need to)
(Before I can love you)
(I got my)
(Before I can trust you)
