lyrics

Oh tell me something that I don't know
It ain't like you wear a halo
But I never thought that you'd go so low
As to sleep around just to send me out of control

Now I'll admit I made a mistake
I never meant to cause you heartache
But you're the one that took the car
You walked out, left home, took it too far

You ain't perfect?
I never thought you were
That ain't what love is
You didn't have to make me hurt

I wasn't paying you attention
And you were getting hypertension
I was so busy with the bills
That you didn't know if I loved you still

But then you didn't say a word
You didn't make yourself heard
You went to stab me in the back
Tryna get my love from a heart attack

You ain't perfect?
Whoever said you were?
That ain't what love is
You didn't have to make me hurt

How was I supposed to doubt?
If you weren't gon spit it out?
What the hell did you expect?
When you come home smelling like men's cologne, what the hell am I supposed to do next?

I can't hear you if you don't speak
You got a problem you tell me, there's a better way to tell me

You're saying that you're not Perfect
