Nobody's Perfect
Jessie J Lyrics

When I'm nervous I have this thing yeah I talk too much
When I'm anxious, I tend to overshare and say more than I intended.

Sometimes I just can't shut the hell up
Sometimes I find it difficult to stop talking even when I know I should.

It's like I need to tell someone anyone who'll listen
It's as if I have an urge to express my thoughts to anyone willing to hear them.

And that's where I seem to fuck up, yeah
However, this tendency often leads me to make mistakes and embarrass myself.

I forget about the consequences, yeah
In such moments, I tend to overlook the potential effects of my words and actions.

For a minute there I lose my senses
At times, I temporarily lose my judgment and reasoning abilities.

And in the heat of the moment
Amidst the intense emotions of the moment,

My mouth starts going, the words start flowing, oh
I find myself saying things impulsively without thinking them through.

But I never meant to hurt you
However, I never intended to cause you harm or pain.

I know it's time that I learned to
I realize that it's crucial for me to understand and internalize the lessons from my mistakes.

Treat the people I love like I wanna be loved
I should treat my loved ones with kindness and empathy, just as I hope to be treated by them.

This is a lesson learned
My mistake provides me with an opportunity to learn and grow as a person.

I hate that I let you down and I feel so bad about it
I regret that my actions disappointed and hurt you, it fills me with remorse.

I guess karma comes back around
I realize that my actions have consequences and what I do will have an impact on my life.

'Cause now I'm the one that's hurting, yeah
I am now the one feeling the pain of my mistake.

And I hate that I made you think that the trust we had is broken
I dislike that my actions led to you questioning our bond and your trust in me.

Don't tell me you can't forgive me
I hope that you are willing to forgive me despite my mistake.

'Cause nobody's perfect
I realize that everybody makes mistakes and nobody is without flaws.

If I could turn back the hands of time
If only I had the power to go back in time and undo my mistake.

I swear I never woulda cross that line
I solemnly vow that I would never repeat the offensive behavior in question.

I should of kept it between us
I now understand that I should have maintained confidentiality and kept my thoughts private.

But no I went and told the whole world how I'm feelin', oh
Regrettably, I revealed my innermost thoughts for all to hear.

So I sit and I realize with these tears falling from my eyes
As I reflect on my actions, it brings me to tears.

I gotta change if I wanna keep you forever
I must alter my behavior if I hope to have a continued relationship with you.

I promise that I'm gonna try
I make a commitment to attempt to improve my behavior.

I'm not a saint no not at all
I acknowledge that I am not perfect nor infallible.

But what I did it wasn't cool
I concede that my mistake was inappropriate and unacceptable.

But I swear that I'll never do that again to you, ohh
I give you my word that I will never repeat the mistake and cause you pain again.

And I hate that I let you down (I let you down)
I hate that my actions have resulted in disappointment from you.

I feel so bad about it (I feel so bad)
I feel guilty and responsible for the pain that I have caused you.

'Cause now I'm the one that's hurting yeah (back around again)
I now feel the repercussions of my mistakes and it is painful to me too.

That the trust we have is broken (it's not)
Although my mistake may have implied mistrust, I am willing to rebuild this bond.

Don't tell me you can't forgive me (oh)
I implore you not to refuse to forgive me.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, nobody's perfect, no
No one is without faults or errors, everyone is capable of making mistakes.
