not perfect, but not pretending - maeve noiré lyrics

i’m not perfect
but i’m not pretending either
take it or leave it

i’ve made mistakes, i’ve fallen hard
i’ve carried too much, let my heart get scarred
people talk, people judge
they whisper things i don’t even need to hear
but i don’t shrink, i don’t hide
i don’t live for their comfort or their pride

i’ve been broken, i’ve been bruised
i’ve been pushed down, i’ve been used
but every scar is a story, every wound a proof
that i’m still standing, still telling my truth

i’m not perfect…
but i’m not pretending
i’m raw, i’m honest, i’m awake
i won’t hide my pain just to make you safe
i’m not perfect…
but i’m not pretending
i’ve survived the fire, i’ve survived the lies
and i’m done hiding who i am inside

i’ve stopped apologizing for being me
for loving hard, for feeling deeply
i’ve shed the versions that bent too far
that let the world decide who i should be
if that makes you uncomfortable, that’s fine
but i’m done pretending everything’s okay when it’s not mine
i see the whispers behind your smiles…
i hear the judgments hiding in your praise…
but i don’t care anymore
i’m real, i’m raw, i’m alive…
and that’s enough
