Nobody Is Perfect

I used to think I was fat, I
Was shy 'bout my tummy and thighs, why
Do I still hear your words in my mind?
"Shut up, you're beautiful"
In one ear and out the other
Nobody could stop me to bother
Now I look at old photos of me
"Shut up, you're beautiful"

If I could speak to the young, blinded me
I won't talk about the bees and the cherry trees

I would talk about her worth and
Tell her nobody is perfect
Try to shine a light on only what's good, you'll see
Days will get much brighter and you'll wonder why you're thinking
You're so worthless
You see, nobody is perfect
Try to smile a bit, I know it sounds cheesy
But you're the only one of you so love yourself for everything you are

"Not words, but deeds" was my motto
All in, all out without sorrow
I cared for only my reflection, oh
I thought I was in control, no
Lost weight, oh, more than a lot, oh
But it never ever gave me any satisfaction

Oh, if I could speak to the young, stupid me
I would tell her she's to love unconditionally

I would talk about her worth and
Tell her nobody is perfect
Try to shine a light on only what's good, you'll see
Days will get much brighter and you'll wonder why you're thinking
You're so worthless
You see, nobody is perfect
Try to smile a bit, I know it sounds cheesy
But you're the only one of you so love yourself for everything you are

I would talk about her worth and
Tell her nobody is perfect
Try to shine a light on only what's good, you'll see
Days will get much brighter and you'll wonder why you're thinking
You're so worthless
You see, nobody is perfect
Try to smile a bit, I know it sounds cheesy
But you're the only one of you so love yourself for everything you are
