Nobody Is Perfect
Davina Michelle Lyrics

I used to think I was fat, I
I used to believe that I was overweight

Was shy 'bout my tummy and thighs, why
I felt self-conscious about my stomach and thighs

Do I still hear your words in my mind?
Do I still remember the hurtful things you said?

"Shut up, you're beautiful"
You would insult me, but I should ignore your words because I am beautiful

In one ear and out the other
I should let your words pass through me without affecting me

Nobody could stop me to bother
No one could prevent me from feeling bothered by your words

Now I look at old photos of me
Now I reflect on my past self through photographs

"Shut up, you're beautiful"
I should silence my own insecurities and remind myself that I am beautiful

Oh, if I could speak to the young, blinded me
Oh, if I could communicate with my younger self who couldn't see the truth

Oh, I won't talk about the bees and the cherry trees
Oh, I won't mention irrelevant distractions or superficial things

I would talk about her worth and
I would emphasize her value and importance

Tell her nobody's perfect
Inform her that nobody is flawless

Try to shine a light on only what's good, you'll see
Attempt to focus on the positive aspects, and you will realize

Days will get much brighter and you'll wonder why you're thinking
The future will be filled with optimism, and you will question why you once believed

You're so worthless
You are so inadequate and insignificant

You see, nobody's perfect
You understand that nobody is without flaws

Try to smile a bit, I know it sounds cheesy
Try to find happiness, even if it seems cliché

But you're the only one of you so love yourself for everything you are
However, you are unique, so embrace and appreciate everything about yourself

"Not words, but deeds" is my motto
"Actions, not merely words" is the principle I live by

All in, all out without sorrow
I dedicate myself fully to everything I do, without regrets

I cared for only my reflection, oh
I only cared about my appearance

I thought I was in control, no
I believed I had complete control, but I was mistaken

Lost weight, oh, more than a lot, oh
I shed a significant amount of weight

But it never gave me any satisfaction
However, it did not bring me any fulfillment or contentment

Oh, if I could speak to the young, stupid me
Oh, if only I could communicate with my younger, foolish self

I would tell her she's to love unconditionally
I would inform her that she should love without restrictions

I would talk about her worth and
I would discuss her value and significance

Tell her nobody's perfect
Explain to her that nobody is flawless

Try to shine a light on only what's good, you'll see
Encourage her to focus on the positive aspects, and she will realize

Days will get much brighter and you'll wonder why you're thinking
The future will become much brighter, and she will question why she ever believed

You're so worthless
You are so inadequate and insignificant

You see, nobody's perfect
She will understand that nobody is without flaws

Try to smile a bit, I know it sounds cheesy
Encourage her to find happiness, even if it seems cliché

But you're the only one of you so love yourself for everything you are
Emphasize that she is unique and should embrace and love every aspect of herself

Oh oh yeah, nobody's perfect
Oh oh yeah, nobody is flawless

I would talk about her worth and
I would discuss her value and significance

Tell her nobody's perfect
Explain to her that nobody is flawless

Try to shine a light on only what's good, you'll see
Encourage her to focus on the positive aspects, and she will realize

Days will get much brighter and you'll wonder why you're thinking
The future will become much brighter, and she will question why she ever believed

You're so worthless
You are so inadequate and insignificant

You see, nobody is perfect
She will understand that nobody is without flaws

Try to smile a bit, I know it sounds cheesy
Encourage her to find happiness, even if it seems cliché

But you're the only one of you so love yourself for everything you are
Emphasize that she is unique and should embrace and love every aspect of herself
