Emily Desmond - Flawless

I should have taken flight from the colder skies
Like the rational birds
With my throat wound tight
I tried to stitch up our lesions with words
I sat there breaking, just waiting
For you to finally turn to a man
Watching plans of a vivid life
Slip right through our jaded hands
You're walking imperfection, woven with inconsistency
So how is it that you're still flawless to me?

Sparring with your shadow
Confused by which arrow points to truth
When you realize you still have time
To make mistakes and blame them on your youth
But this jamais vu, this thought of losing you
Has me afraid to fall asleep
And I'm kissing the ground where we lay
Every time yesterday came in with the breeze
I'm selling bits of my soul to try to make you happy
So how is it that you're still flawless to me?

And our candle, my dear
Is burning clear at both ends tonight
And though its darkness I fear
I can't stand to bear your synthetic light
Don't do that to me
If I can't be everything you want
Save the excuse
The bottom line is you don't hurt someone you love
But these things are never as simple as they seem
Because somehow you are still flawless to me
